Differing Exports for same format

[Johno]

Hi Corey,

As you know I use the XML export that suits Stats Genie currently.

When I finish a tournament my proceedure is to chop all players then move players up out of the chop for the ranks I want ranked. We don't rank every position.

the format is this:

Code: [Select]

<Player Name="Tom Harris" FirstName="Tam" LastName="" Rank="1" TournamentPts="100" Buyin="50" Rebuy="0" Addon="0" Payout="250" Knockouts="4" KnockoutRevenue="0" BountyCost="0" RoundOut="5" TimeOut="2009-06-22 23:10:21"/>
I have seen another file exported in the same manner that actually leaves out some info for the winner. like this:

Code: [Select]

<Player Name="Tom Harris" FirstName="Tam" LastName="" Rank="1" TournamentPts="100" Buyin="50" Rebuy="0" Addon="0" Payout="250" Knockouts="4" KnockoutRevenue="0" BountyCost="0" RoundOut="" TimeOut=""/>
Do you know why this would be?

Could it be because the players were busted out one by one? And therefore the final player was not busted out as he actually won?

Makes sense really, just want to confirm.

That's correct.  Typically, there is only one winner, and that player is never busted out of the tournament.  So that player won't have a bust-out time or round.
