Challenging on the Ladder

[Septumus]

There should be a way to challenge people straight out of their profile because as it looks right now the only way to find a name to challenge them is to browse the ladder until you find them since there is no organizing method. You can at least search for profiles.

Problem. I'll see what I can do.

The problem is only apparent because we are using the challenge feature of the ladder system, for a tournament. Since there is no sort of organization when a ladder is newly formed, it is a bit tedious to find ones opponent. Ctrl+F doesn't work because there are multiple pages. The main reason we have to use the ladder's challenge system is because it keeps track of match results; matchmaking option itself is not needed because tournaments are run through a randomized bracket.

Ideally, we will have the little window you see now on the ladders by clicking on a players name, popping up with a "Submit Results" option in our future tournament brackets.

I will be PMing all tournament participants as we keep updating some features.

Mostly fixed, I just upped the amount of participants displaying one page. We'll see if we can get a search option implemented in a later build.

The way I was understanding it is that the ladder system does not only have to do with tournaments we just wanted to make it so that tournament results will also reflect on the ladder?

Right. The ladder will help us track the tournament

Having more then just the regular tournament bracket is fine, using the ladder as well lets us promote the stats and a more appealing aspect of the site. Whats hurting us is the over all clarity and design that mod needs. It could be leaps and bounds better very easy technically speaking.

I'm interested in finding a specific coder to just do it for us. I'd rather just improvise.
