Description
Use this plugin to create a gaming community with your own tournaments, ladders, competitor challenges, and more. Ladder standings (or “leaderboard”) track points, wins, losses, [optionally] draws, games played, win streak, and win percent. Tournament brackets support single elimination head-to-head competitions. Tournamatch also includes match challenges, player profiles, team profiles, ladder and tournament rule pages, match lists, and a player dashboard for managing everything.
Using Tournamatch, you create ladder or tournament events and allow registered users to self-serve. Registered users can create their own teams, join other teams, accept or decline join requests, drop team members, and send email or user team invitations; users can send match challenges; users or admins report, confirm, or dispute match results; ladders and tournaments will update automatically when match results are confirmed.
This plugin includes many pages and shortcodes with user-facing components. You should expect to restyle those using the WordPress Backend -> Appearance, Customize -> Additional CSS page.

Reviews
I just started using Tournamatch and already love it but there are some glaring issues that need to be addressed to make the experience with using it a bit better than what it is already.From a basic usage standpoint, it gets the job done though. I just hope some of the things that makes it a pain to use at times gets worked out but other than that, I have no issues with it. I recommend it.

If you want to run esports competition, ladders or tournaments this is the plugin to use!
Tiene buena intención, tiene muchas cosas interesantes, pero he probado con un torneo de prueba y tiene muchos errores y falta mejorar muchisimo la interfaz, faltan botones para volver entre otras cosas
