I voted for this Mod to be MOTM did you?

Here is the link to show your support to Bananalive so go and vote! ->https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=192376

Guys Guys Guys,
This might be a very stupid question but unfortunately I am not a "games guru" like most of you out here...

I installed the mod but I am not sure how this thing works??? I went through all the posts but did not get much idea except that there are two modes i.e. LSM and 1v1.

My main question is, what GAME are the users competing against?? Does the user who creates the tournament, adds a mult-player game where people can compete against each other??? If this is case, where to download these multi-player games??

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks
Wicked80

current: vb3.7.3 patch 1 / tourament v2.4.9


Request/Suggestions:

• **Double Elmination!!** Pretty PLEEEEEASE!!
• **Calendar integration**
• HTML markup for tournament/ladder titles in List (hard to read or would like to highlight some)
• Ability to sticky for Tournament/Ladder Lists

Team logos

• upload team logo when create new team (currently can only do so when edit team)
• team logo thumbs on Team List
• ability to choose from stock logos (maybe link to vbulletin avatar?)

Weird:

seems to be missing from the file package (wouldn't load, couldn't find it so jacked from your demo site. lol)

BUG?
Ladder combined script with tournaments is great... but since I upgraded...
creating new ladders doesn't create a new thread

I Second This. With the addition of adding the custom titles!

I'm going to wait for 2.5.0 Before i install again. BananaLive is a great at updates, but sometimes i think he speed codes :P

/waits for stable release.

I'm sorry to ask again, but how a member can unregister from a tournament?
(and can I delete him myself as moderator/administrator)
I feel a bit stupid but I still can't find...

Thanks!

[Chris11987]

Click the little person icon next to their name before a tournament begins to delete them.

[BlackLava]

Those little person icons aren't listed when tournament got more than a few players registered, I can't see who's in and then can't click there... Any idea?

[Chris11987]

Make sure you have the permissions to remove players form a Tournament in Usergroup Permissions.

[BlackLava]

I have, I can now remove players on my tournaments with a small number of registered players, but as soon as I have more than a few (not sure but something about 10+) registered yet the list of registered players disappear and then I can't remove them.
