Title: Change buy-in time after start of tournament?
Post by: efdenny on June 16, 2016, 07:38:18 PM

I mistakenly bought in the wrong player... noticed the error at the first break, undid the buy-in, and bought the correct person in.  Problem is, now this player's playing time is wrong by an hour.  Not a big deal, but my players love to see their average playing time, etc in the stats for the league, and this particular player ended up winning.  Anything I can do to correct the buy-in time for this individual player?

There's really no way to adjust a player's buy-in time.  I'm not really sure why, except it's probably just not needed often.  If you send me your tournament, I can adjust it.

For future reference, another, perhaps better, way to handle this would be to change the player database association.  I'm assuming both players are in your player database (if they weren't, you could have just changed the player's name to fix the issue).

Let's assume you bought-in Adam, but you meant to buy-in Zeke:

• Go to the Players tab
• If Zeke has been added to the tournament, remove him from the tournament
• Edit Adam
• Press the Change button in the Info section at the top
• Select Zeke and press the OK button
• Press the OK button

Now you've effective changed Adam into Zeke without affecting anything else in the tournament.

Dang, that's too easy! Wish I had seen that option... thanks again Corey!
