Help Me / Player Name & Nickname function

« on: October 12, 2006, 09:54:52 PM »

I am sure I am doing something wrong but I hope someone can help. 

I was happy to find out that the Nickname field is no longer required so I went in the database and removed them.  Probably a stupid move... After that, I opened an older tourney and most of the names were no longer associated so I figured they just needed to be merged.

I noticed something very weird.  When I created a new tourney and went to add players, the dialog box only lists "Name" and in that field is the 1st name of the player.  When I go into the database and open a player's properties there is no such field called "Name".   I have FirstName and LastName.  Even when I create a new player there is no "Name" field.

The problem that I have with merging is I have a bunch of guys named Bill, Mike & Dave.  I cannot tell who to merge them to.

Any assistance would be helpful

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply....

Just to make sure..... So if I load 2.2, it should open files saved with Beta 3?

Thanks again!

Help Me / 2.2 Question

« on: August 30, 2006, 08:36:06 PM »

Corey -
I had a problem with 2.1.2 with the HTML error that a lot of people were having after a certain Windows Update.  In order for me to get last Saturday's tournament running, I downloaded 2.2 Beta 3 and ran the tournament with no problems

Now comes the problem.  I tried to load my saved file from last Saturday into my 2.1.2 program and it would not load.  Before I download 2.2 and install over 2.1.2 I was concerned that I cannot recover the saved stats from last Sat.

Any assistance would be great

Thanks

Help Me / League setting problem

« on: August 25, 2006, 07:15:33 PM »

Hi -

I just ran into a problem regarding my league setup.  I have about 40 people in a league that we have been running since January.  I recently upgraded to  2.1.2 and notice something funny.  When I create a new user from the database tab and I choose the league at the top and then enter the player information then click OK.  When I look at the user after he was created, he is not assigned to a league and I have to manually add him.  Has anyone else seen this?

Also, I don't know what happened, but when I started setting up the TD for my tourny tomorrow, I noticed that all my players have been removed from my league.  I don't think I did anything but I am really freaking out.  Are their stats gone?  Can I bulk select players and put them back in the league?

Sorry for the many questions but I think I am in panic mode....

Thanks

Sorry, but I had another question about the font color.  Corey, I am following your suggestion about changing the font color in the Global Property sheet but I don't see how....

I went to Layout > Global Properties >and I see Backround Color, Foreground Color and Border Color but no Font Color.  Am I blind?  Sorry for all the questions...

BTW, I use my laptop and 4 19'' monitors for displaying the tournament director.  Switchboxes and VGA cables from www.monoprice.com.  You cant beat them.  I bought a 100ft VGA extender cable for $20 and a powered VGA distribution box for up to 4 monitors for another $20.  Just thought I'd share

Thanks for your response.  I guess my situation is that we always have 2 tables but sometimes 3.  Never more than that.  We do reservations weeks before so we know exactly who is showing up on game day unless there is a last minute cancellation.  So I was hoping that if I new 21 people were coming, I would set TD for 3 tables and already have the players listed before they show.  I would then proceed with the buy in and table seating.

Pre buying in the players is a good idea I was just hoping for an easier way.

Do you happen to know the answer to my font color question?  Is that possible?

Thanks!

Hi -

I was hoping someone may be able to help me with what I am trying to do.  I have a monthly multiple table tournament and up until now I always had the players pick their seat assignment from a hat.  I had designated facilitators which always took seat 1 at each table and they did not move so I was excited to see the Locked Player option.  We have 3 large 96'' holdem tables so keeping the facilitator in the middle of the action helps greatly.

I want to change our buy in process so I can take advantge of the randomized seating.  Here was my thoughts on what I am trying to do.  At buyin time, we form a line at the TD and everyone buys in, get their chips and the seat so I am trying to randomly assign a single seat, one seat at a time.  The problem is when I choose Seat Players, it puts everyone at table 1.   I am trying to dispurse the players across all the tables.  The other problem is that even with locking the facilitators in place, they are included in the seat movement.

The other problem is since I am trying to generate a random seat one by one, by the time we get to the 3rd or 4th person and I do another seat assignment it moves the people I just gave seats to.  I got this idea from Bally's who I frequent for their weekday tournaments.  You walk in an hour or so early, you register and they give you your seat then.  The are running TD so I hope they are paying appropriatley

Last question, is there an easy way to change the font color in the layout?  I search the help but I can't figure it out

Thanks

AJ
