Thoughts?

I think this occurs, when the user was previously in ladder but left. I'll look into it.

Fixed for v4.2.0

When adding user to ladder, three things can now occur:

1. User is already in ladder, error message displayed and link back to ladder
2. User was part of ladder but left, thus their status in ladder is changed to active
3. User had never been part of ladder, so they are added

This should solve any previous error messages.

Just release v4.2.0, in first post, any problems/bugs post them here please.

Hi there,

im Testing the Tournament script for a new Side im creating. Got 2 Questions:

1. Is there a way a Player can submit a result? (and maybe the other player need to approve it)
2. Is there a Way to seperate a Category from some Groups for example i got a Group Premium Members and i want an internal Tournament only for Members of the group`
3. I need to increase the max Players on a tournament to 1024 is this possible?

We have a bug it seems. We can provide access if needed.

There is a bug on the tournament bracket in the second leg of 64 at the top.

The system is not letting admins progress Spades (system id: 1901) through his win in the match between him and shew. For the sake of keeping the tournament going, I just progressed shew (system id:1692) and Spade's opponents know of the bug so recognized shew on the bracket as Spades.
I tried swapping Spades with shew, same problem. I even tried moving him to another slot of the bracket, same problem. Now even shew can not be progressed.

The rest of the bracket is fine.
