Just installed. Thank you nice mod. I was hoping I could use teams in the ladder. Looks like users only. Teams also for ladders would be awesome feature.

[JAnders]

I just updated to the latest version and the elo system is great. However, I have some ladders already in progress.. and it's only calculation on a going forward basis how can I make it calculate for all the matches that were already played.

you can take a look to understand better:

looks like there's an error in the sql statement 'tmnt_teams.noplayerstmnt_teams.noplayers' that looks like it's 2 columns not separated

Would we edit "ELO Rank" as "Score" in the Phrases, or templates?

I'm getting this message now when trying to create a team tournament?

Any ideas on how I could fix this?? What if I do a complete fresh installation? Could I go in an clear out the MySQL Database for this mod?

[OcR Envy]

Can't say enough about this mod, the author is actually listening to our requests and keeping periodic updates.

Amazing work again Banana.

Sorry, fixed in next version.

Upgrade otherwise you will lose your tournament/ladder data.

I want to make the file twice and have one name tournament and one named ladder. Simple enough, but where would I go to edit the url for things like "tournament.php&do=__________"? Is that inside the tournament.php file?

Also, where it says "Forums > Tournaments > Ladders" in the navbar, how would I make it so it doesn't say "Tournaments" when I'm on a ladders page.
