Yeah, i second that: Teams. Users can create teams, other users join to those teams (just one per game), and play as a team, for ladders like online FPS games. Wins and losses around teams, and not only individual players.

Nice mod. Thanks for releasing it.

**Installed hands down**.

Any chance of merging the Forum tournaments with the forum ladder/league?

Great great Mod.

Thanks again

I am receiving the same error with $html as I did with the tournament version... when I changed everything to $html2 or $html3 I received a header error.

I've installed it and tried it for a few minutes. Currently, I have four things to point out.

1) Can there be an option to edit the ladder description after it's made? I didn't see it.

2) On the main ladders page, is there a way to limit what is said there? I'd like to have an image or formatted text as the Description for the ladder, but I basically end up with somehting like this:

3) I noticed the scoring goes by +2 for a win and 0 for a loss. I HIGHLY SUGGEST you look into using the "ELO Rating System" It's a definite must for any ladder and is what all the big ladder sistes use. It basically calculates the points based on the difference in rank between two people.

EDIT: 4) The link for the ladders breaks the quicklinks menu a little bit: Observe below:

Installed and tested, the ladder works fine with no errors.

I believe there should be a ladder Links below or maybe a floating Ladder links so users can easily access it without having to scroll back to the top of the ladder to access it.

Great Hack. :up:

Installed :up: and Nominated :up:

how do i change the name of ladders in the navbar

*Not installed yet but will this ladder system work in like a race environment where the fastest time is the winner instead of the person with the highest score wins?

[Chris11987]

I think the points are ONLY to confirm the result, and as far as I could tell, they aren't displayed anywhere. So I guess in that situation, you could have winners submit a 1 and losers submit a 0.
