Just wondering if there is any updates coming to correct the bug that changed how the brackets look and colors can not be changed.

Create plugin on hook global_start with php code:

define('IS_MOBILE_STYLE', false);

Alright, couple of issues I've noticed since our first big tournament.

It doesn't allow the reserves to check in, then once the tournament starts, it does not allow me to swap them in with those that didn't show up. So currently the reserve system is broken and not working. It should allow them to check in like everyone else, then at the start of the tournament, if someone doesn't show within the core sign in, they get slotted into the bracket when it is generated. I had many upset people that I couldn't slot them in manually.

Also the reporting of who won needs to be more clear on what they need to enter in. They didn't know if they needed to do W/L or 1-0 or what. We also had people submit their results that they won and their opponent didn't submit anything so they wouldn't advance on. So I had to manually advance them. Maybe do a simple radio button on who won and advance the person but then push them back if the other person contests it by saying they won instead. Or even just do a check box on who won, not a text field.

Also, when people comment on the tournament page itself within the comment section. It says there is 2 pages of comments, but then I click on the next page number from the first one, it just refreshes the page and does not take me to the second page of comments.

There is also the issue of names. A persons username on the website is different than in the game. So people don't know who to find when it comes time to compete. So it would be nice to not use their website name and make them enter in a different name, their in game name.

My biggest issue though is the reserves not being allowed in. Would be nice to also have a chat room on the tournament page itself as well, so that way the players can talk to organize the games.

That took care of it, ty.

PS.

What do the additional fields actually do in Tournament settings, and Ladder settings?

Additional fields allow you to specific more options when creating/editing tournaments/ladders, which are specific to your forum needs.

Hi Dom

dont know if you read it, but would you look into making a separate category for group play based on same system as leagues, maybe without dates as we use groupplay for one day events.. or just an option to leave out(might be better)

Best regards

Is it possible that in knockout stages or leagues etc that they enter there own scores, both parties have to enter the score, either the manager from the team or individual in head to head etc, currently as stated above its just advance someone to the next stage.

What bug fixes? Was anything I mentioned above addressed?

Yes, tournament reserves are automatically slotted in.

Last page is shown for tournament comments as default.

Do they get to check in?

I'll add that into v5.9.3

Hi Dom,

Is vb5 support on the cards for the near future?

What about result reporting and in game names?

I haven't looked at vbulletin v5.x.x to see how much has changed yet. Hopefully it will be easy to support simultaneously with vbulletin v4.x.x

Added 'No Show' button to match reporting.

For group names in tournaments:

Admincp -> Tournament Settings -> Tournaments User HTML (including username)

For group names into ladder:

Admincp -> Ladder Settings -> Ladders/Leagues User HTML (excluding username)
