Place awarded question
« on: September 18, 2006, 11:12:36 AM »
What happens when one player takes out more than one person, how does TD determine who gets what place? We are currently knocking one person out at a time when this happens and the person with the most chips gets the higher position.

Thanks,
Tim

If you eliminate them both at the exact same time, TD will assume they tied.  If you want one to get a higher place than the other (which is the standard rule), then eliminate one right after the other.

But will TD award both players that busted out with the same amount of points and will the player that knocked them out get two hits?

If you bust 2 players out together, they will have the same rank, and they will have the same hitman.  Therefore, the hitman will be awarded 2 hits, and the 2 busted players will receive the same amount of points, for points that are awarded based on rank (Points for Playing, if configured that way).  The two players will also "chop" any prizes that are to be awarded to that rank.  When two players chop, you are given the option to divide the prize money and points between the chopping players however you see fit.

More specifically, the players will actually receive any prizes that are to be awarded to those ranks.  For example, if 2 players bust out together and get 4th place, there will be no 5th place.  The player ranking next will rank 6th.  So, if there happens to be a prize awarded to 4th place and a prize awarded to 5th place, the 2 players will chop both of those prizes.
