I can start working on a Level-Based scoring system, which uses a teams current score to talley points for wins and losses, based on their opponents total points. The end user will see that the higher ranked team you beat, earns you more points, and the lower ranked teams you lose too, loses you more points. I am also going to work on tracking game specific stats, and maybe add a map generator, and a "Best of" to the challenge system.
I should point out that I will wait to have a stable product installed before I start testing it. Since I am not a coder by trade, it may take a bit to get the hang of vB code structure, and since pages may need to be added, I may need help with that.
Under latest Tournaments it would be a great Idea to hide finished tournaments and place them under tournament history link.
Can we get the forum jump menu to be accessible from within the Tournament and ladder script.
Also, The product.xml which bananalive uploaded to move the stand alone ladder tables into the tournaments and ladder combined Script works fine. Thanks for the Product
