I notice that with uneven tournaments (the one I tried had 12 players), the tournament brackets fills up from the top and then the bottom of the bracket is left completely open. this means there will be byes in several rounds (often times for the same person). Is there a way to randomly put in byes for members in the first round, so that there are no longer any empty spaces in round 2? I hope that makes sense.

yea I have 2.4 installed. and the attachment that he just posted a few above.

[gorentals]

I see what the problem is...

I have 2 themes. I figured out the issue.

[Stifmeister2]

This mod rocks, I've already nominated for MOTM.

But I still need that "admin can replace players once tournament has started" for my tourney.. Can you implement it for the next version?



And one question... Has anoyne lost their ongoing tournaments after upgrade??? I really can't afford to lose mine now.

[Chris11987]

^ Yes, that's probably what I'm looking forward the most. Also, you can use that feature to handle the byes issue that was brought up a few posts ago. Perhaps when switching players, you can allow a spot to be updated with a blank spot, thus, enabling a bye for the opponent of that blank spot.

Oh yea, 2nd feature would probably be to allow a person to advance their opponent, instead of needing someone with those permissions to update the bracket themselves.

Great job again, bananalive. We appreciate the dedication you've been giving this.
