Hi again Corey,
another idea!
Can you add to the existing break token to display more information?
ATM i simply use the Break : XXm on the display but would prefer something a little more elaborate such as:
Next Break : 20m, End of Level 4
(where 20m indicates the duration of the break rather as the time until the break.
What do you think of this?
Couldn't you change the layout to do this? To use the default layout as an example, the Blinds cell has a special property set that displays when the tournament is in a break (appropriately named "Breaks"). It just displays the
<breaktext> token. Instead of having some more elaborate override, couldn't you just change this to something like:
Next Break: <nextbreak>, End of Level <round>?
I would also like to see the ability to add descriptors to rounds and for example end of days, so instead of displaying next blinds I would be displaying
Next Level : End of Day 1 or
Next Level : 150/300 a25 - Buffet Break 2 etc etc
the second suggestion obviously would need considerably more work than the first as it would involve having the ability to add descriptors to the schedule tab.

To take your first example, if during day 1 you were expected to play rounds 1 through 10, couldn't you add a property set that displays on round 10, and display that text instead of the <bigblind>/<smallblind> <ante>?
I was going to suggest that you could, on round 10, override the tokens <bigblind>, <smallblind>, etc, to achieve the same effect, but then realized the layout would be placing a / between them, and that wouldn't be what you wanted.
I realize the point of having the "overrides" would mean the layout wouldn't need to change. I think first your first suggestion that modifying the layout is actually the correct way to do it. For your second suggestion, I see your point but I'd rather not complicate things. Plus, I'm not even sure how I would accomplish it.
