General Discussion / Re: Trophy Ideas
« on: October 20, 2008, 01:27:08 PM »
i went to www.trophypartner.com and got a 8" resin plaque for player of the year and a larger plaque (12" x 9"?) for our main event. I also use www.dyetub.com for certificates for each event winner. It's simple and easy to use, and everyone loves them. I attached a picture, I am at work right now so it is not the best picture of them but you can kind of get an idea. Plus, my poker room is still under construction.

Hey everyone, I just got Photoshop 7.0 and it turns out I am completely photoshop illiterate. i would like to create a logo with something showing the 4 ace cards and the name Four Aces Poker, and our motto "Can you beat Four Aces?" on it as well. I would love to have some pointers or if it was really easy, maybe someone can put something together for me and send it, perhaps? I find that it is easier to go back and see how it was done rather than start from scratch. For me, it is easier. I can see what the person has done and then I can put something together using that as sort of a "template". any help would be appreciated. thanks.

You can use this website to create spoken wav files.  However, they may sound a bit robotic.

Moose, this website works perfectly for what i want to do! One of the male and one of the female voices sound far less "robotic" than the others.

Can't wait for my next tournament to unveil the sound files that i have created. The one i came up with for the start of the tournament goes something like this: "welcome to four aces poker's main event...the tournament of champions. good luck to everyone...let's shuffle up and deal" It was about midnight last night when i came up with that and it tested out perfectly. also, i created sound files for every blind level that i use, and just use whichever sound files match what blind level i use. Still have a little more work to do, thankfully i have 4 weeks to get it perfect. also, i used the event "level end" and inserted my blinds levels and even a sound bite that says "Break time" when breaks come into play. also, i use 10 or 12 minute breaks, and after the voice announces break time, then i have music that kicks in all the way down to the very last second, so that not one second is "dead air" during a break. I like using "Sin City" and "Girls got Rhythm" by AC/DC and also "Take on Me" by A-Ha. It works perfectly. I would suggest that website for anyone looking to personalize their tournaments. I am also thinking about using sound bites using a player's name when they bust out using hotkeys. "Joe Blow has been eliminated". Of course, this is simplified due to the fact i usually have at around 9 to 12 players a month. It's all family and close friends, and i think it adds a little something extra into the mix.

Templates, Layouts and Sounds / where to find background pics/wallpaper
« on: September 05, 2008, 11:27:03 AM »
I am looking for some cool looking poker wallpaper/backgrounds for my TD background, in the 1024 x 768 size. any suggestions on sites or if you have some to share, please send to fouracespoker@yahoo.com  I have done google searches and went through about the first 50 or so results. They seem to be tough to find. Thanks!

Help Me / Re: KO formula
« on: September 04, 2008, 07:15:22 AM »
ok, so to go with the 1st formula, it should look like this then:   

((n+1-r)*100) + nh * 25 + max(0, (nh - 1) * 25) + max(0, (nh - 2) * 25) + max(0, (nh - 3) * 25) + max(0, (nh - 4) * 25)

did i leave anything out?

« on: September 03, 2008, 01:23:16 PM »
thanks...i think i might've left out one thing though...is there a solution for the following regarding hits: 1 hit is 25 points, the 2nd is worth 50, (not another 25) (so far total for 2 hits is 75), 3 hits is 25 for the hit + 75 more for the 3rd hit = 100 points, so on and so forth. And can you max it out at 5 hits?

1 hit = 25 points
2nd hit = 50 more points
3rd hit = 75 more points
4th Hit = 100 more points
5th hit and up = 125 more points


so if the player gets 3 hits in a game he receives 25 + 50 + 75 + 100 + 125 = 375 points...follow? hope it isn't confusing...trying to reward players for dominating a game.

Help Me / KO formula
« on: September 03, 2008, 11:23:13 AM »
my current formula for determining points is (n-r+1)*100.   my points per hit is in the box above that and it is 25. How can i incorporate hits into my basic formula to reward players for multiple hits?

Help Me / overall scoring formula
« on: August 26, 2008, 10:30:08 AM »
i am looking for an overall scoriing formula for the most consistent player in my league. using points (50 for last, 100 for next out, etc), hits (are 25 points per), wins (100 pts), 2nd place (50 pts) , 3rd place (25 pts), and events played (50 points per). If anyone has an idea for how to define consistency using these stats, let me know. so far we have played in 8 events. I would like to make a certificate for "most consistent player" using a formula based on this. thanks

i'm not sure if you answered this question already, but here goes... In December I will be having a "Tournament of Champions", where I give out chip bonuses to anyone who has won a monthly event and a regular stack to people who finish top 3 twice. Then I have "Wild Cards" who receive a 20% smaller stack. I have a chip count of each player to date (I still have 3 events left to play before December's) but my real question is: How do you set these chip counts per person to where it gives a total on the tournament screen under "Total Chip Count"? Do I manually enter the counts on the Players Tab and it tallies it up that way? or do i need to edit the "Chip count properties" on the tournament screen?

thanks guys. i spray-glued it last night, and placed some flat objects on the table top for some pressure. checked it this morning but didn't have time to remove the stuff. appears to be holding very well. will attach my velveteen when i get home tonight and most likely be using it tomorrow! And I won't have to hear the chips banging against wood anymore!
