Understood, as a result would you say that the features more than likely will not be added by the end of this month? I appreciate everything you've done and all your hard work so I'm not trying to be a jerk. We're just trying to start a tournament in the next two weeks so I want to know if to wait for the update or if I should go ahead and use something else in the meantime.

Nope, I'd start the tournament

For Gaming Tournament?

You start tournament, members join, tournament starts, tournament happens, tournament results displayed.

You could use it for a quiz, using the LMS tournament type.

You should put an option to where you can switch between different skins/layouts in the AdminCP. Say you are running Skin 1 on your forum and you want to use Skin 2 for the Ladders & Tournaments mod....

Anyway of doing this?

It looks just like that... I have all options set to Yes for Administrator group. But cannot access.

All the other usergroups have the correct access according to their usergroup rights.

I have some suggestions, I haven't used this yet because my website isn't so popular but I play on gamebattles, and I this script has the potential to be as good of a script as the one running there...

-add the ability for single players (free agents) to sign up for ladders and be recruited by teams needing players
-maybe social group integration for teams that sign up
-more team information on team page
  • team avatars/logos
  • team website
  • list of tournament/ladders joined
  • overall team statistics based on ladders/tournaments won/lost
  • upcoming matches / challenges
  • match history
  • tournament history
-ladder avatars/logos
-tournament avatars/logos
-addition of league play format in ladder options (seasonal league type competition, instead of ladder challenges)
-ability to link specific forum IDs to ladders/tournament which then pull recent threads from that forum onto the ladder/tournament page

I apologize if any of these features are already implemented and i just don't see them because i haven't held or done any tournaments/ladders with the script yet. my forums aren't very populated at all, and i'm just suggesting things that i see as missing. overall the script is wonderful and i'd even pay money to see these improvements/suggestions made. thanks so much for all the hard work on this!
-timezone implementation (to know which timezones teams are coming from)

yea...maybe more notifications in your navbar area too
  • possibly add notifications in the area where you receive your new PM notifications in the navbar, you can have recent challenge or match notifications in that area as well.
  • also, when a player is submitting the scores of a match there should be the possibility of uploading screenshots for proof of the score, can't just take peoples word. is there also a dispute system?
  • adding players to teams, this is automatic. it doesn't even send out a request to the player you are adding as to whether or not they want to be a part of your team. this should work just like vbulletin's friend system, where an invitation is sent and has to be accepted before a player is added to a teams roster.
  • you can even add in a trash talking feature for upcoming matches like TWL, where players can vote on who they think is going to win the match and leave comments for upcoming and completed matches...

im not sure if most of my suggestions are already in, i don't see anything about "free agents" and i don't see any way to add ladder logos/avatars. i do see team logos/avatars available but it doesn't seem to be displaying or working for me. i'll test it out more...

this is the best ladder/tourny script ive ever seen for vbulletin to be fair, i would just definitely like to see it improved upon further and integrated even more with the other great community features of vbulletin.

Could it be possiable to put a extra slot in the team members section for a gamertag for xboxlive? I run tournaments on my site but it is hard when I only have a username and no gamertag to contact them.

That would be helpful, but they should have their gamertag listed on thier profile.

I have them do that also. But it would make it way easier for everyone if they could just go to team page and send invite instead of going though 3 or 4 pages.
