that is what I thought you meant.
one of my usual inelegant solutions (but works - copy into points for playing area of the game tab):
10 + switch(r, 1, n*1, 2, n*0.9, 3, n*0.85, 4, n*0.8, 5, n*0.75, 6, n*0.7, 7, n*0.65, 8, n*0.6, 9, n*0.55, 10, n*0.5, 11, n*0.45, 12, n*0.4, 13, n*0.35, 14, n*0.3, 15, n*0.25)
So, it gives 10 points to everybody in the tourney, then if the rank (r) = 1, it adds points of the number of players (n) * 1, if rank = 2, then it adds points of the number of players * 0.9, etc,
Try reducing the size that you specify the extended display to be. So, on the Preferences tab, on the Extended Screen dialog, if you've set the extended screen size to 1024x768, then press the "Move to Extended Screen" and the tournament window is sized too big for your extended display, then reduce the size to, say, 800x600, then press the "Move to Extended Screen" button again. This should resize the tournament window. Play around with that until you find the appropriate dimensions.
When you select the prize "Amount" to be "Non-monetary", the prize doesn't award anything. That's basically saying "When this prize is awarded, don't give the recipient anything from the pot". For any prize amount type (percentage, fixed, or non-monetary), you can add points to the prize. So, it sounds to me like a "non-monetary" prize amount, with the points attribute set to some value, is exactly what you are asking for. Or am I missing something?
The "amount" of a prize has no affect on the player receiving the prize being "in the money". A player is "in the money" if they are awarded a prize that has the Recipient aspect set to a specific Rank. This is how a typical tournament works. Usually, there are prizes for 1st place through nth place, and there may be "peripheral" prizes, such as prizes for busting a specific player out (a bounty prize), or prizes for best hand, worst hand, etc. Players who win the peripheral prizes should not be counted as "in the money", regardless of what the prize actually was (maybe an item, maybe money from the pot, who knows?), because "in the money" generally refers to a player who ranked high enough to win one of the 1st place through nth place prizes. Because you can set prizes up in any way you want, you may not actually have prizes for players ranked 1st through nth. The TD does the best it can to determine who is "in the money" by simply using the fact that a player was awarded a prize whose recipient was designated by achieving a specific rank.
QuoteI want the contents of a cell to change with 40 seconds to go in a break. I can do that, but setting the conditions to be all breaks & time <= 40 also changes the cell contents in rounds as well.
Hmmm . . . seems like it should work, wondering if your default property group is taking priority for some reason. I would have to try this myself. I'll try it sometime soon.QuoteQuote
3. You can easily assign points for top 8, regardless of what prizes are. I am trying to figure out why you want to make points a prize - so they can be displayed in the prizes token? Could you explain why you want to assign points as a prize?
Why not? The issue is that you can't specify a non-monetary prize without also giving some percentage of the pot. I can overcome that by setting the prize to be 0.01% (effectively zero, especially with rounding), but TD treats that as a ranked monetary prize.
Why not? because a decent option is to assign points for rank - can be done easily in points for playing (say, if(r=8, 3,0) gives 3 points for 8th place)- without making it a prize designated points.
Also not quite understanding why you can't assign a non-monetary prize with out giving a percentage of the pot. Set prize to rank and put in the rank (say 8 ), then set prize to non-monetary and stick the points (say 3) in the points area for whatever rank you want to give the points too (still think it works better to just put the points for whatever rank in the points for playing area with a formula).
I guess we should move this thread out of the beta forum section and to the general help me area.
I'll take a shot at a couple of your questions.
1. on the "events" tab, see the "Msg Property Sets" button on the left. This lets you control where the messages end up. You can put them about anywhere on the screen. You have to make sure that your font is small enough. If it is too big (say >40, the message may take up the width of the screen (depending on the message size of course).
2. For layouts, each cell has a property set for rounds and for breaks, but I am not sure what you are looking to do? Do you want your layout to change 40 seconds before the end of a round?? It might be easier to have a message event or sound event occur than to have one cell change at 40 seconds before the end of a round. But there is probably a way to do that as well, if nothing else by defining a different screen set. Still, not sure if I know what you are trying to do. Could you explain exactly what you want to happen?

4. Sounds like an interesting feature request. I don't use the table movement by TD, so can't help you there at all.
Good luck.
yeah the half point is to be added after they are averaged....
is TD able to sort out a decent way for Hits... in that we are planning on awarding £5 every time someone knocked out someone, but no points, can TD keep this registered?
The next version has a "Player Movement" screen, like the Player Rankings, that will display the last player movement. So, when a movement suggestion pops up, you can "Accept" the movement and have it go straight to the Player Movement screen, so everyone can hopefully see where they are moving.
