Tournament creator and last edited by notes at bottom of tournament
I also just installed this onto my new test forums which has just two users. I created two teams, one under each user account and joined both teams to the ladder. I then challenged one team and again had no notifications to the challenged team leaders pm
Does everyone else get pm notifications when you receive a challenge? I simply dont get them and this stopping us from using this classy mod
Cant be down to other mods as It does not work on my test forum either which has no mods installed.
Any help greatly appreciated in getting this problem solved
Any news on if you can do a league system to run along side this ?
I will be working towards it in the next few (prob quite a few) releases. First is to combine the view of tournaments and ladders within categories, then I will add the option to create a tournament which is linked to ladder (winner gets +X elo rating) and only players from ladder can join tournament.
looking good so far and will be waiting for league version, as it's extremely hard to find a proper league script. they are all usually ladders, branded as leagues
if i can make a request for the future league side of things, could you have it so that each league can have multiple divisions, and divisions can have customisable names , eg for 2 divisions you could have Div1, Div2, as standard but could customise it to Premiership, Div1.
also dunno if this is planned or suggested, but could you make it so the ladder has a start date and end date, so if you wanted, you could make it run like Ladder 2010, Ladder 2011 or just Ladder Sept 2010, etc, and so it's not just one long ladder. Then you can have 1st 2nd and 3rd type awards for it. If you had that, might need a 3rd date option for Results Deadline, so people can submit results they forgot up until the last second.
