Sorry for delay here you go. (Not sure if this will work with colons.)

For LMS to display lowest score as winner...

Find in tournament.php

ORDER BY score DESC");

Replace with

ORDER BY score ASC");

Great hack so far, and great response time. I have a suggestion for future release.

Add player name to team without having to have player registered on forums.

Hi, great addon, i'm about to install it on my site. I'm not sure if this is already in this addon, but it would be cool if people and teams could add logo's to their teampage, like max 350x200 or something. Keeping doing what your doing mate! This is huge. Awesome.

Hey got a problem, after I updated to 2.3.8 I can no longer add teams at all, not even with admin. I even reinstalled, uninstalled the mod several times and no luck.

It returns error page with no message.

When I set the max teams for usergroup to 0, it gives me the message: Error: You can only create 0 teams

but when I set it to above 0 then nothing on the error message and still can't create a team.

Can you look in to it? Thanks!

Update: Just did another installation of 2.3.8 on a brand new forums that never installed this mod before, still unable to create team.

The error has been reported above and the fix is in next version (out very soon - sometime today)

Thanks Banana, that works!

One more questions. The score rounds it self to a nearest whole number. How can I prevent this from happening if a user has a time score of 10:02.834?

Thanks for a great hack!
