We run some regular tournaments with 1 rebuy + 1 addon allowed per player max.
Currently we use TD but only have the blinds on the screen but would also like to have the prizes displayed on the screen. I know this can be done, but really don't know where to start.
We have 3 different formats that would need different prize structures the one with rebuys are the one i'd need most help with.
1 - set prizes regularly - this could be done easy enough.
2 - main event - set prizes depending on runners (i have a spreadsheet that handles these values) I'll link it here later so someone interested can have a try at creating a formula if they like.
3 - rebuys - We have $10 entry + $10 rebuy + $10 addon.
With 3, maximum is 1 rebuy + 1 addon per entrant.
We give the top 20% of players a $50 voucher (1 in 5 win these) and surplus cash goes into the cash pool that is generated by the rebuys and addons. All cash pool is split evenly among top 10% of players.
So is there a formula that would calculate 20% of entrants and award them $50 then as the rebuys and addons are entered it will increase the prizes for the top 10% ? can a formula also carry the surplus over?
Example:
43 players @ $10 buyin ($430)
top 8 players win $50 each ($400)
$30 carried over to cash pool which is shared evenly by top 10% which in this case is the top 4 players.
Any rebuy+addon cash will automatically grow the cash pool (top 4 players payout).
Not sure where to start with this...
Another question I have..
We have ordered membership cards with barcodes etc, so we can make things easier, I know we can use them as the ID and goto the add player / enter page and submit the players. But can these also be used to count rebuys ? For example, we scan a members card once, they are registered... then when it's scanned again it (or enter their number) it automatically detects it as a rebuy/addon ?
Is this asking too much, or can it be done already ?
Thanks in advance.
