I guess that could work, but then competitions.php by itself still brings up all tournaments by default. If it had both files, it could put a nice focus on both elements of the mod equally, since it currently leans towards tournaments more so than the ladders.

I have a other segestion for you:
Must leagues and cups now use xraygaming (aka xray anti cheat)
on there site there is a php code that will allow you to link your xray profile to your website.

Is there anyway you can add this in as well so when a use registers he must submit his profile info as well but you the opiton of turning it off.
Also be it be nice so that it will say his info so that he dont have to keep typing it in ever time to play a cup but be able to edit it if needed.

Here is the code that on the site

For more info you can see http://www.xraygaming.com/index.php?pageid=xac-linking
But this would be a GREAT added and i am sure a lot of other people would like to see this added

I'm going to be adding option to display userfield soonish, not sure if that would be sufficient for what you want to do.

a) prevent him from creating tournaments individually. I know how to change the permissions for a certain group, but not an individual

b) remove his wins. Maybe have it so that when the tournament is deleted that all the stats for it are removed?

Also, in the future it would also be cool if you could set it so that the results of a tournament effect the ladder rankings. Each match could count towards the rankings and then the winner (and runner up?) would also get bonus points, based on the amount of people entered and the average rating of everyone entered.

I'm going to be creating option to ban userids from tournaments for such nuisance individuals.

Are other members seeing all registered players even if there are more than 10? (That's my bug, listing is showing only if there are a few registered)

I have tested this on my forum, but I am not getting any problem. Are any of the users joined have special characters in their name? and have you modified the php file or templates at all?

Or make a special group for this one mofo.

A secondary usergroup would probably be best for now

In the latest version front page has been redone to show latest 2 announcement, latest 5 tournaments and latest 5 ladders.

No special characters (outside numbers but I don't think it's the problem for sure) and I haven't modified your tournaments templates.
Created a new tournament now and added players manually, seems it's working (15 showing on page). I'll investigate more (still can't see the ones listed for the other tournament).

EDIT : After checking all players account in the bugged tournament, I've seen one of those was renamed (his forums account is renamed). I've removed him manually through the database in the table tmnt_players but the tourney still does not show the registered players... Any tip? (I'll recreate it adding each player manually otherwise)

Try opening tournament.php and replacing all $html with $tlhtml
Then open product and replace all $html with $tlhtml

By special characters I meant ' or " which might (shouldn't) break php code.

The tournament part of the hack should not be affected by name changes or accounts being deleted as those details are kept in tmnt_players table. Sorry I cannot think of anything else.

[BlackLava]

Now the registrations are full but the tournament is written "In Progress" and nothing is listed, neither players or drawings.
Created a new one, copied everyone there manually through "add player" and those were listed fine but at the end I have "In Progress" and same result.
(Used LMS tournament and date/hour is now "21 hours ago", don't know if that matter)

Thanks for help
Edit : Sent you an example link through PM
