Thanks Stuart, "side pot" is a reasonable description of what I have in mind. We also call it a "last Longer" pot with a payout schedule.
What I envision for setting up TD would be to add a checkbox on the GAME tab for a "second buy in" which would then open a pop up window to complete the details. If that box was checked during tournament setup then the "buy in players" pop up window would simply add a second checkbox next to each players name. if the first box was checked then the player is entered into only the first tournament. If the second box was checked then the first box would auto-check and the player would be entered into both tournaments.
It seems simple to add the second tournament payouts to the existing "prizes" tab and the Player rankings (F3) screen seems to have enough real estate to add both payout schedules on the display.
I am all for simplicity in registration and I think this could work quickly enough. I am also in favor of adding flexibility, increasing player enjoyment, and recognizing the economic impact of how much it costs to play. I also don't think that having two players at the final table with different initial investments would affect play but someone else may feel differently. Keep in mind that the second tournament could be higher than the first for the real gamblers out there.
