I decided to totally start over, and remove both modifications and begin fresh. Ladders removed fine, but when I tried to remove the Tournament mod, I get this.
Invalid SQL:
DROP TABLE vb_tmnt_activity;;
MySQL Error : Unknown table 'vb_tmnt_activity'
Error Number : 1051
I tried installing over / upgrading tournaments again, but got similar errors.
Can you tell me how to just remove everything by hand, so I can start over fresh? Apparently VB isn't going to let me remove it
*EDITED*
When I try installing / upgrading.. I get this error when I go to the tournament.php page.
Database error in vBulletin 3.7.2:
Invalid SQL:
SELECT * FROM vb_tmnt_tmnts Array ORDER BY id DESC;
MySQL Error : Table 'smallbal_vbforums.vb_tmnt_tmnts' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146
Using phpmyadmin open smallbal_vbforums, remove/drop table starting with vb_tmnt_ and vb_ladder
Awesome, I didn't think you were gonna be combining them already. I'll try it out later. I have a few suggestions already for it, but I'll wait until any bugs are sorted out.

OK.. done.
I also physically went through and deleted all the ladder and tournament files. Now, whenever I try and install again, I get the very same errors as above.
Also,, after removing all the files and deleting the plugins.. "vB Tournament" is still showing as installed, and when I try to uninstall it it comes up
Invalid SQL:
DROP TABLE vb_tmnt_activity;;
MySQL Error : Unknown table 'vb_tmnt_activity'
Error Number : 1051

Looking back, maxteams was listed under the uninstall box for 2.3.8
so I removed everything from all uninstall boxes, and then it let me remove the product. I hope this was ok, lol.. but everytime I deleted the info from one box, when I tried to uninstall it referenced info from another.
Should it be safe now to try a new installation? If so, I have a question. The new Beta install you listed above, does it include all files needed to run both the ladders and tournaments? Only reason I ask, is because the ladder script no longer has any download available, and I have removed it from my forums.

The beta version above is combined Tournament and Ladder Modification. All files are included in the zip archive.
This is great news about the beta, could we get a list of features you plan to add in the first post so we know what to post up with ideas i would fully support this hack by donating more cash as i think you have worked hard with this.
