SK v3 Arcade Tournament v1.0.5
A tournament add-on for v3 Arcade v1.0.7 (by John Warwick)
Created for vBulletin v3.6. Now also tested on v3.7 and v3.8.
This add-on is not needed and doesn't work on the new v3Arcade 2.0.0. It has its own tournamnet system (based on this one).
Since this is now starting to be obsolete I've removed the Supported status. I will of course still try and help those who use it as much as I can though.
Updated 2008-06-13 to v1.0.5 see version history below for more details.
Note that it is a new template change in template FORUMHOME for v1.0.4.
So don't forget to add that one if upgrading. See install.txt file in zip package.
Features
2, 4, 8 or 16 players tournaments.
Usergroup settings for view, join, create and administrate tournaments.
Signed up players can withdraw from tournament if it hasn't started.
Creator of tournament or administrators can send reminders, withdraw and disqualify members.
Notifications via email or PM. Optional by user. (Integrated with v3 Arcades options)
Scores hidden until both players done. No disadvantage for playing first. Optional.
Active tournaments and tournaments awaiting players on forumhome. Optional.
Tournament events posted to the arcade news. Optional.
Fully phrased for translations (or improved english)
Optional. Creator of tournament can setup costs for joining. Use if forum is using any points system.
Includes hooks for integration with a points/store system like vbBux/vbPlaza or something similar.
Add-on for vbBux/vbPlaza 3.57 is included. Tested on v3.57 and v3.58 of vbBux/vbPlaza
Add-on for vbCredits 1.4 is included. Only tested on that version.
Add-on for vbCasino 0.92 cash is included. Only tested on that version.

Would it be possible to add functionality to automatically cancel a tournament if it is not moving along? I am having some issues with members who sign up for tournaments, but even after being reminded, fail to submit their scores and let the tournament progress. I am looking for an option to cancel a tournament after x days if it has not advanced to the next round in those x days.
Thanks!
As Ideal Web Tech says, I would prefer to disquallify the player that doesn't submit their scores. That will make the tournament advance.
If you want to cancel the tournament you can use the Disqualify All link.
I have been thinking of having an option to have a scheduled task that automatically sends reminders and disquallify players.
Will take a look at it for next version.
Made an add-on for vBExperience. See attachment.
This will be added to the Tournament package on the next update. For now it is only attached to this post.
Points can be given for:
- Creating tournaments.
- Winning rounds.
- Winning whole tournament.
Requirements: vBExperience 3.7.14 and SK v3 Arcade Tournament 1.0.4
Only tested on vBExperience 3.7.16.
Warning! I don't use and have very little experience with vBExperience myself.
So support on this add-on will be very limited.
I don't know if it's a bug. After creating a tournament go to this page arcadetourmnt.php and it's not listed in there at all. Though finished tournaments are listed.

If you are logged in and goes to arcadetourmnt.php with no parameters you should see the "Your tournaments" page that shows all tournaments that you have joined. See the second to last attachment in the first post.
If you are not logged in only active tournaments are shown.
The first attachment is for arcadetourmnt.php. There is no tournaments awaiting players in the list
The second attachment is for arcadetourmnt.php?do=viewwaiting
Ans as you can see there is one in there.
The tournament was created by me. I unchecked the "join in" portion and created it. Just for general info.
The tournament isn't listed on the "Your tournaments" page if you haven't joined it. Which you don't do if you uncheck the "Join in" box.
Only tournaments that you have joined and still awaits players shows on the "Your tournaments" page.
The "Tournaments awaiting players" page show all tournaments that still await players. Both those that you have already joined and those you haven't.
