Help Me / League reporting
« on: April 11, 2017, 12:09:37 PM »
Hello:

I run an annual league and we have our formula working properly for points for our nightly games.

I would like the season stats to reflect the 6 best scores from league games. The league is 10 games, although not everyone plays all 10 games.

Is this possible within Tournament Director?

Thanks. We just got home a couple of days ago from a real whirlwind trip. Fantastic 5 weeks in Europe. We did not manage to play any Poker, but we did get introduced to a game called "Bastard Brag" in a pub in York.
Good times. :)

May 3rd - 5th: York
May 6th - 9th: Dorset
May 10th - 12th: London

Hello:
My darling better half and I will be in England for 9 Days. Our time will be split between York / London / Dorset.

Just wondering if anyone know of any games that we might join in in those areas. Personal recommendations appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Bixby (Matt)

Thanks. I had no idea this would be such a hit. People enjoy the 8 hour / large buy in format so much they are asking me to set up a longer game in June each year as they do not want to wait until December. I will likely run a second game each year, but with a $100 buy in instead of the blind bid variable stack game.

This year the low bid was $122 and the high bid was $211.

Considering our regular hold'em night is $40 buy-in, this is a much bigger $ game. This was our third year and the average of the winning bids was $157.89. Last year the average of the winning bids was $110. The first year the bids averaged $69.

Thank you Stuart. That is very helpful and much appreciated. I was hoping there was a simple answer...
...and lo and behold, there was!

Let me know if you run the game. It was our third year and a very popular game. The bids/stakes are going up every year. :)

Help Me / Our Annual Blind Bid WSOP November Nine Game
« on: December 07, 2012, 10:04:24 AM »
Hello:

I have a couple of Tournament Director "How To" Questions. I suspect there is an easy way to accomplish what I need to do, but I am just not seeing it. First of all, some background on the event we run annually. This is copied from our site...
The last two years we have run this, it has been a very popular game. This is a chance to relive the glory of the 2012 WSOP November Nine and grind it out in an 8 hour game to earn top prize and top honours. We are pleased to offer up the third annual WSOP November Nine Blind Bid Event

2012 WSOP Blind Bid Event

----- Format -----
This is the re-enactment of the November Nine final table 2012 WSOP Main Event and as such there will be different chip stacks in a certain order on the table. This will be the same format that I ran last year with a blind bid system in place for players to submit their bids in advance of the game. High bid gets high stack, and so on. I will publish the Bid Procedure as we get closer to the event. In the meantime, let's check out what this year's game looks like...

Here are the players and stacks for this year's event...
1. 43,875,000 - Jesse Sylvia - SEAT 6
2. 29,375,000 - Andras Koroknai - SEAT 8
3. 28,725,000 - Greg Merson - SEAT 5
4. 24,800,000 - Russell Thomas - SEAT 1
5. 16,860,000 - Steven Gee - SEAT 4
6. 16,260,000 - Michael Esposito - SEAT 9
7. 15,155,000 - Robert Salaburu - SEAT 7
8. 13,115,000 - Jacob Balsiger - SEAT 2
9. 09,805,000 - Jeremy Ausmus - SEAT 3

We are going to run with the 2011 WSOP Blind structure and starting levels. I have Tournament Director set up already for that. Levels are 45 minutes.

LVL - ANTE - BLINDS (Likely 45 Minute Levels)
36 - 50,000 - 250,000  /  500,000
37 - 75,000 - 300,000  /  600,000
38 - 100,000 - 400,000  /  800,000
39 - 150,000 - 500,000  /  1,000,000

Remove 25,000 Chips

40 - 200,000 - 600,000  /  1,200,000
41 - 200,000 - 800,000  /  1,600,000
42 - 300,000 - 1,000,000  /  2,000,000
43 - 300,000 - 1,200,000  /  2,400,000
44 - 400,000 - 1,500,000  /  3,000,000
45 - 500,000 - 2,000,000  /  4,000,000
46 - 500,000 - 2,500,000  /  5,000,000
47 - 1,000,000 - 3,000,000  /  6,000,000


Payouts will be top 3 spots and the payout percentages are as follows: 60%, 30%, & 10%. The actual payout amounts will not be known until we know what the top 9 bids are.

This year's game will be held on Saturday, December 8th and will be an all day event, same as last year. It is potluck so bring a dish to share. We are doing Pulled Pork in the slow cooker again.

Remember. There are more than 9 people who wish to play in this game. When the bids are revealed, only the top 9 bids play. How bad do you want to play?


My questions are as such:
(1) Is there a way I can input the starting chip stacks into Tournament Director for each player?
(2) Is there an easy way to assign names to seat number without having to use the randomly seat players and and hope we get the right seating assignment to mirror the tournament. (I randomized the seating until a player was in the proper seat and them locked that player and randomized the others until they were correct. That seems long and cumbersome and I bet there is a better way to do this).

Thanks in advance...

This is helpful information. Perhaps this post should get pinned.

How hard is it to set up a web sight and maintain it ?

See my post two above this one. It is VERY easy if you run with canned applications.

Here is my experience in this area:

I have run a few websites for a number of years now. I want to prefix this by saying that these are ZERO programming sites. I wanted to run with a hosting site and software that was super easy. I know a number of people do not like GoDaddy, but they have been great as far as I am concerned. There is decent phone support and they have a number of web applications that are 1-click installs. It doesn't get much easier than that.

I run WordPress for a couple of sites and I also run SMF on a couple of sites. (SMF is the software used for these forums). There are decent plug-ins for the software that are also 1-Click installs that allow event registration and other handy features.

WordPress and SMF are both very easy to install and administer. A piece of advice on GoDaddy: I have always received better pricing by phoning in my order. The people on the phone seem to always have some discretionary leeway on pricing.

Good luck with your site(s)...

Couple of things...

I upgraded both of my forums to version 2.0 of SMF. There were some features in 2.0 that allows questions to be asked on registration that prevent spammers from signing up in the first place. As bots become more sophisticated at solving Captcha, other measures were needed.

For instance, you can ask a question on registration such as:
"What game is this software primarily used for?" and if they answer anything but "poker", it will not allow the registration to proceed. That feature has been great on the forum sites I run.

The plug-in module I use is "Stop Spammer" version 2.3.9
It allows for easy checking of email and IP addresses to a database of know spammers. It has helped me prevent a couple of accounts from joining the forums.

Hope that information helps.
Cheers,
Matt (Bixby)
