[XFA] Tournament - XF2 3.5.3

Description

Ever wanted to create and manage tournaments in your community with a solution fully integrated to XenForo ? Then our Tournament add-on from is made for you !

With Tournament, you and/or your users can create and manage (invite users, kick users, ...) public or private tournaments with up to 64 contestants in just a few mouse clicks among 6 different types: Single elimination, Single elimination with consolation bracket, Double elimination, Round Robin, Round Robin with 2 way matches or manual winner nomination.

The look'n'feel of the tournaments brackets is similar to what you see for sports tournaments or e-sports.

Matches are either automatically generated at the end of the registration period or can be randomly generated or manually selected by the tournament creator, or any user with manage rights.

Xen Factory Tournament is perfectly suited for sports forums or games forums.

Coupled with our Roster add-on, Tournament is raised to a whole new level, allowing tournament not just between users but also between rosters (team).
