Either player can dispute the challenge once it has been accepted, this puts a 'flag' next to the match and it will appear for Ladder Admins on the Disputed Matches page.

Disputed matches page shows who reported the match and has the option to pm both players and option for admin to submit the score.

Maybe, there are a few complications at the moment present at the moment which prevent simply adding a link to re-open tournament(s).

May I request you consider upcoming events (ladder or tournament) to have the option to put them automatically in Calendar plz?

So, is it me or should semi-finals be the round BEFORE the finals?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-...ion_tournament

when eight remain at the start it is generally called the quarter-final round; this is followed by the semi-final round in which only four are left, the two winners of which then meet in the final or championship round.

I'm probably just being retarded but I can't find how to create a tournament. The ladder seems straight forward, I just don't see a link to create a new tournament under competitions.

Edit: I definitely didn't see the usergroup permissions for tournaments. I'm good now.

It should go:
Quarter-Finals -> Semi-Finals -> Final -> Winner

[bananalive]

v4.2.3 has just been released fixing the bugs relating to the tournament part of this modification found in v4.2.2.
