I Was Wondering if this would be possible at all ?

Like this?

While it isn't exactly what you wanted, it's fairly close.  I just used the VerticalRacetrackTenSeatTableBlueprint*.xml blueprint twice followed by the RacetrackTenSeatTableBlueprint*.xml blueprint, and set the number of columns on the page to 2.

The vertical blueprints actually aren't included yet (they will be included in 2.6), so I've attached them to this post.  Download the attached "blueprints.zip" file and save it.  Go to the Database tab and press the "Restore" button.  Then select the blueprints.zip file.

You've raised a good point, though.  Being able to dynamically position tables would be pretty cool.

Corey i had another thought about this

would it be possible to have the xml doc or the td program to set each table in like a slide show mode so the table was the size of the screen then say 10 secs later it went to table 2 etc

or even have all tables on screen like above or any order and were Table A Is Displayed

Above or below it have each name run on a timer like 1. Bob (10 secs) > 2. Ron etc  in large font same as the table message

so that players dont have to squint at the screen  a lot of people would benefit from this in my opinion

thanks

Not at the moment.  I think a current solution might be to create a blueprint that is the ideal size for your screen and then just let the automatic scrolling do the rest?
