What is Tournament?

Tournament is a Drupal module that provides a full tournament management system.

Video guide

The easiest way to get to grips with this module is to follow the video demonstrations.

  1. Part 1 (update: /teams no longer exists. You now need to create a View that displays Teams)
  2. Part 2
  3. Part 3

Typical installation

  • Enable at least modules Tournament, Match and Team.
  • Set user permissions for the Team and Match module and for any new content types (tournament, match etc)
  • Go to match settings (admin/config/competition/match) and set participant types to user/team etc
  • Go to search settings (admin/config/search/settings) and set Team as a search type
  • Clear all caches

Support

Make a ticket issue on the Tournament project issue queue.

Hey DrupalJoe!

The module is looking great and I am extremely excited to use it; however, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add a new team!

I set the permissions so I should be able to view/create teams... but I can't find it anywhere in the admin.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I asked Joe this question about a week ago. You need to turn on the Navigation menu block, and then you will see an option to add a Team.

Hi, i'm looking for a ranking system. Your module sounds great, however i'm not able to see how ranks player.

i.e
i've got 2 challenge: in the first one i've won at 200-60 (+140), the second ended at 40-90 (-50). My rank will be +90

is it possible with this module?

Thanks

What type of ranking system do you mean?

The module currently provides a 'Ladder' and 'Round robin' tournament type.

i'd need a system like the Elo system.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELO_rating_system

Of course i don't matter all the details but i'd like a system like this. (each player has got a global rank)

EDIT: really sorry, I've just seen that ELO system has just been implemented.
Hovewer i've found this error when i create a ladder
PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'drupal.tournament_ladder' doesn't exist: INSERT INTO {tournament_ladder} (nid, calculation, duration, max_challenges, force_crown) VALUES (:db_insert_placeholder_0, :db_insert_placeholder_1, :db_insert_placeholder_2, :db_insert_placeholder_3, :db_insert_placeholder_4); Array ( [:db_insert_placeholder_0] => 19 [:db_insert_placeholder_1] => 1 [:db_insert_placeholder_2] => 604800 [:db_insert_placeholder_3] => 1 [:db_insert_placeholder_4] => 0 ) in drupal_write_record()

You probably didn't install the module correctly. Try uninstalling and installing again.

1. I'll look into the my teams block, but it should be there still..
2. I removed that page now, you can make your own list of tournaments using Views if you want.

This project looks really great - I'm testing it on a testsite at the moment and so far everything looks fine.

Is it possible to change to layout of the teampage and userpage?.If so, where do i find the files to edit. I been trying to add a display suite layout but all the informations disappear. I want to make my team page show two or more column with members and team images.

greetings donippo

Hi,
first thing first, thank you for the really nice work. I think there is much potential in this module!
Unfortunately we have some problems...

We (2) are creating an esport community from scratch. We have decided to use Drupal as a platform.
Even if we have zero experience with Drupal, so far we accomplished everything we want. We read and learn over the past 3 week and this without any outside help.
But at this point I have to ask something and hope for your reply.

We want to use the "Challenge Function" for users, but the menu point "My Challenges", as seen in the video, is missing :(. So far everything works except this.
I have tried to reinstall the module without any success. After disabling all the components and uninstall them I tried to install the developer version, but it didn’t work.
There came a message "already installed" so I looked at the modules and see the disabled tournament modules. All settings where lost.
So I just copied the developer version files via FTP (don’t know if this was a good idea) everything seems to work fine even if I can’t find the challenges...

Long story short:

- How can I reinstall the module?
- Is there a way to display all/my challenges?
- Is there a documentation except the videos?

With kind regards from berlin
Patrick

maybe i should quadrochecked it ;)
-> new View -> show Content of type Match...
there you can apply joins and filters. at the moment i have some issues with this, but hopfully i will figure it out.

Is there a way to access in a view the Group number of a specific Match? I presume this info is inside the Round Robin content type but I do not know how to dig for it....

Is there an easy way to create team tournaments rather than user ones?

kevl’s picture

Ah... if you select setting of anything above 1v1 it automatically goes into team mode.

Great Module!

but it is unclear how to create a team. When you set tournament to 2v2 it wants a team but I am not able to create one.
Anyone?
