Hi all

I'm in the process of setting up a small league on OBBLM and I'm struggling to create a round robin tournament.

The teams are created and all in a League and Division (not tied). Here are the steps I go through:

1. Go to "Schedule Matches" under the Admin menu.
2. Select Round Robin.
3. Pick the division (already poulated).
4. Enter a tournament name ("Season 1").
5. Select the teams and add them on the "Add team" panel.
6. Click Create.

At which point I just get a red banner with the text "Request Failed". I noticed that the "Season 1" tournament now exists but no matches have been scheduled.

Has anyone encountered this error before? There is nothing else to suggest problems with the install and I can schedule an individual match for a team ok.

Happy to give someone a log in if they need to poke about?

Many thanks!

Got it sorted... Eventually!

So what was the problem in the end?

Well, that's a very good question! I would have updated the post with more detail to help others if I knew for certain.

I ended up installing from scratch, setting up a new league and teams and then applying my settings changes and mods one-by-one while repeatedly scheduling new tournaments to see what broke it.

I *think* it was a combination of a CSS file with some spurious hidden characters at the start (BOM? Presumably put in there by an editor when I saved it) and some poor formatting in my custom "rules" html.

I removed the Rules and re-edited the CSS using Notepad++ and all seems good... so I'm not touching a thing now!!

What's the league, outcast?
