When you create the time you input in GMT+0. It gets saved as timestamp in timezone gmt+0. When vBulletin displays time then it gets converted into that users timezone (for example 5pm USA is not the same as 5pm Australia)

It would be better to save the original time in the timszone of the Tournament Creator. And then convert it based upon the reader's timezone. Doable?

I might fiddle around with this after I've done the teams.

I dont think so - check your primary (and secondary) usergroups permissions

The reason I ask this is because some users can get 100+ users in a tournament. He's the creator, and he's just a member, and giving him tournament editing privilege will cause a lot of issues if a users that isn't the creator of the tournament start advancing himself.

I see a huge potential on this modification.

Sorry, missed your post. When I add teams you would be able to list the bands as teams, but I dont think there is an easy way to add music player, songs, etc.
