this mod allows you to manage signups for tournaments, the games/ matches will be played elsewhere and the results put in mod.

lms: The last man standing wins the match / player with highest score
1v1: single elimination- loser of each match is out until 1 player left

Thanks a lot BananaLive....canyou just check if my understanding is correct..

So lets say, there is a big HOCKEY GAME tournament being held in toronto this weekend, so i create a tournament in my site as well. But how are the winner's mapped to that tournament?

Do I have to create questions like "what will be the scoreline"..and then at the end whoever is closer, moves ahead to the second round???

A perfect world example would be really amazing as I want to use this MOD and also nominate it for MOM.....

Thanks

I want to remove those tournament stats from postbit! I like them in memberinfo but I hate them in postbit.

I run a few of websites dedicated to PS3 online gaming. We run tourney's on games such as Call of Duty and Socom. I currently run an antiquated ladder/tourney script in a seperate directory from my forums. This script allows you to set up tournaments or ladders directly on your forums.

For example, I am about to launch an 8v8 tourney for Socom: Confrontation. With this mod, I can have the clan leaders sign up for the tourney, invite members to thier team, and set the individual matches up directly on the forums. When the tourney starts, the teams play online, and record the required stats in the mod, and the winner advances. No need for the extra script in the other directory. It combines both elements of my lsite into one.

Hope this helps a little.

If you had gaming forum, then your forum users would signup for the tournament using this mod then play their opponent and put the results into the mod

older version works fine

[JAnders]

looks like you're missing a column, can you check the usergroup table and see if you see that column there?

[Ninja Tom]

Can you get a Double Elimination and a Pay-To-Play bracket on here, too? This mod is awesome and I can hardly wait to install it!

Can a ELO type of system be introduced ?

[CFodder]

We have run a couple of tournaments for clans in region, generally have a round robin match where everyone playes each other once, then top 8 go into the main finals and bottom 8 into the plate finals which are divided as per the stand quarter, semi and final system. Would it be possible to do this?

Is definitely a great mod with what you have already.
