Woops, fixed and re-uploaded.

[gamerscms]

Thanks for the fix

I have found a bug:

When you go into Editing Tournament and to type it has the following in the drop down:

LMS
1v1
LMS

Just thought i would point it out.

Any update about creator able to proceed users to next round instead of allowing everyone to edit the tournament?

click add. a blank page will load

A feature request for you.

The Tournament Display Options would be great to have a a side menu as i think a lot of users would find it hard to see the small drop down arrow.

Show All Tournaments
Awaiting Players Only
Finished Tournaments
In Progress Only

Just an idea maybe more users could add ideas.

Able to add a banner for each new tournament would be great also.
