why cant the board be reduced to show just 32teams or 16teams even? MUST IT ALWAYS SHOW THE 64 TEAM BOARD? ... sometimes i wonder what was going through a "plugin authors" mind, when i see some wordpress plugins.. i just go wow .. why must it be a 64 man tournament board? .. what if people want to host tournaments for just 8 people/teams? very annoying!
