Versus v1.3.2

Daily head-to-head matchups with voting, ELO rankings, and Battle Royal tournaments.

---

Versus Arena turns your forum into a daily voting battleground. Every day a fresh head-to-head matchup goes live, members pick their winner, ELO ratings shift, and the cream rises to the top of the leaderboard. Run monthly Battle Royal tournaments to crown a champion, then pit the monthly winners against each other in an Ultimate Battle Royal for all-time bragging rights.
