It would also be cool to display the standings as a widget for the front page of the website.

I have a very important request. Your script is fantastic , but i think is missing a very important key on the ladders, specially for those like me that have a shooter competitive site.

Ladders

Admincp

When a admin add a ladders, we add a list of maps and game modes

front end

Lets say im player Y ,when i create a challenge on the match finder, lets say i post a game with 3 rounds. When Player Y goes to the match finder and clicks on my match and accepts the mach the system will detect automatically that player X choose the option of 3rounds and will select from the maps and game modes that the admin added on the database 3 random maps and 3 random game modes and will be posted on the match details, so player X and Y can play . This way ,

For example, once the system chooses the random maps and game types

Round 1
Map Summit
Gamemode Hardpoint

Round 2
Map Hardhat
Gamemode Seach and Destroy

Round 3
Map intervention
Gamemode Capture the Flag

This way players don't have a choice of choosing the gamemode and maps they want to play. everything will be ramdom so there is no advantage to ether player .

Thank you for your help, I was able to resolve this. I have one last question though. Is it possible to delete categories? I can't find an option to delete them anywhere.

EDIT: Never mind! I found the option in the sidebar. Thank you again for the awesome mod.

Hi there, I was wondering if you could help me out.

I installed the files via filezilla, and that seemed to go successfully. I, however, run into a problem when trying to upload the xml file. I run into the following error :
"Sorry, no XML was passed into this function and the $path variable empty ".

Any Ideas on how to fix this ?

I have a problem, When I try to create a tournament of 18 teams it creating 32 spaces on the brake. But if less than 16 teams I have no problem. How can I solve this problem. Or do I have to buy the premium version to solve this inconvenience?
