General Discussion / Re: Automatically seating players
« on: August 29, 2015, 10:33:36 AM »I still wish there was an option for auto seating during buy-in to seat each player at the next open seat at each table, e.g. buy-in 1 gets table 1, seat 1. Buy-in 2 gets table 2, seat 1. Buy-in three gets table 3, seat 1. Buy in 4 gets table 1, seat 2, etc. This keeps tables balanced so that in say a 30 person tournament you can start on time with balanced tables and as those 4-5 late folks that show up will continue to get seated in balanced tables. Right now I have to do that manually since TD wants to put everyone at table 1 as they buy in.
I have been thinking about this some more and another workaround would be, lets says you have 30 players and 3 tables, and you figure 5 late arrivals. Before you start buying in players make seats 9 and 10 unavailable at all tables (that gives you 6 seats for late arrivals). At this point you can start buying in players and let TD auto random seat as they buyin. Once you get 24 player bought in you can open seat 9 at all tables and continue buying in players at as they arrive, once those seats are filled then open seat 10 at all tables and continue buying in players. This would keep the tables balanced and still random seat all the ontime players.
But I do wish the there was an option to keep the tables balanced as players buyin, several of us know ahead of time how many total tables we will have.
Hope this helps.
