Help Me / Play a Sound on Player Exitiing Tourney
« on: July 06, 2009, 05:25:33 AM »
Is it possible (and if so how?) to play a given sound for each specific player exiting a tourney. I'm thinking after the "x" has been pressed then the appropriate player and their respective hitman has been chosen, the OK button then gets pressed and this executes a sound or wav file. Could be good fun as it screams out, "The River Rat has left the building".

Thanks in advance.

Suggestions / Flash Promotions
« on: December 21, 2008, 05:55:54 AM »
Would it be possible in the future to enable TD to be able to play short flash or other nice quality graphics during play?

We use TD at the moment on a large plasma and have tried adding animated gifs to play every so often, but the quality is very poor. Given the normal TD graphics & resolution plays very well on the same plasma, it would be great to be able to advertise local companies during play, or whoever the sponsor was for that comp or charity event.

We have tried single images but again the quality seems to drop somewhat.

If this feature is not going to happen could you please suggest the best way to display high quality graphics or animations in the current version as a background screen.

Thanks

Help Me / Same formula different results
« on: August 01, 2008, 09:21:03 AM »
Hi all,

I am using TD and also use an Excel sheet to make extra checks on points for tourneys in our club. This has lead me to find the TD seems to show differing results using the same formula. I'm sure I'm just doing something wrong.

In a given game and series I'm using the formula:
(((  (bc+n+tnr-br)*pp)  /  (r+nr))  + (nh*bc))/2
When I use "Test Formula" from the Game tab and enter a prizepool (pp) size of 152, zero rebuys (tnr) - its a freezout - , with buyin(bc) of 25 and buyin rake (br) of 6 with 8 players (n) with three hits (nh) and rank (r) =1, I get 2090 points. This is the same for my Excel prog which is good of course.
However, when I go to the summary tab in TD it show that first place has 2,546 and not the same as the Test Formula page. it doesn't seem to take in the $6 for the buy-in rake. One the Game tab there isn't a buy-in rake but a per player rake. I'm hoping these are the same but maybe they aren't?

Any help appreciated please.

Regards

Help Me / Tournament Series Formula with Rebuys
« on: June 12, 2008, 07:29:40 AM »
Hi I would like to offer this formula which was achieved with the help of quite a few posts here. It has served us well over the last six months of a tourney we have been running. We are now playing our final table this weekend. Thanks to all those who contributed.

Basically it rewards players by where they finish in a given tourney but also penalises players if they have rebuys by approximately one place per rebuy. (in essence a rebuy is another life so one place per rebuy seems fair)

It also rewards aggressiveness and so two players who play for two hours and then are both taken out at once ny anopther player are rewarded by the number of hits they may have achieved up to that point.

((  (n+tnr)*prizepool)  /  (r+nr))  + (nh*bc)

where
n = num players
tnr = total number of rebuys
prizepool = total money being paid out in a tourney
r = rank player finishes in a tourney
nh = number of hits
bc = buy in cost
nr = number of rebuys

Thanks

Help Me / Leader board during a tournament
« on: June 12, 2008, 07:18:11 AM »
I've seen that it's possible to assign manual chips values to players at (say) a final table. I'd like to know if it's possible to create a screen that occassionally shows the current leader board and player names in order of the various standings of chip values.

Thanks

Help Me / 2.5.1 Lag
« on: March 26, 2008, 05:35:34 AM »
Hi, Have just installed 2.5.1. There seems to be a large delay when scrolling around from tab to tab. Also, pressing the Esc key causes a large delay before returning to the root screen during a tourney. Nothing else installed or changed on my system and all other progs responding as normal.

Help Me / Sharing 'hits' during split pots
« on: March 03, 2008, 06:52:43 AM »
In last night's tourney, players A and B busted out player C in a given hand. Players A and B had the same hand and the pot was split. When I tried to assign the 'hit' to these players it would only let me choose one of them.

Is there another way of doing this or is this something that needs to be modified in order to allow multiple players to share hits when the above occurs?

Thanks in advance

Help Me / Best 8 out of ten revisited
« on: March 01, 2008, 06:32:24 PM »
I haev my formula working to show a running total of the best 8 out o ften tourneys. However, there is a slight alteration needed. It's been decided that the last two tourney' sof the season will be for double points but players can only count one of these tourneys towards their tally.

How can I oncorporate this please.

Thaks in advance.

Hi all,

How can I get the player ID's into the data on the Stats page for later exportation to a file? It doesn't seem to appear in the list of columns that can be chosen for viewing.

Thanks

Help Me / Tournament formulas throughout a series of events
« on: January 21, 2008, 07:32:24 AM »
Apologies if this appears twice. I though I'd sent this a few days ago but it doesn't seem to have appeared.

Is there a recognised or standardised formula one should use for calculating points for a series of events over a long number of tournaments?

Ideally the variable would take into account things like the number of players, number of rebuys (so would deduct points) and would be proportional to the number in the field and prize pool, total umber of rebys, the round you went out in etc.

If there are any obvious things not to include please let me know. I wouldn't want to include a variable that wasn't relevant.

Thanks

Suggestions / Tournament formulas
« on: January 19, 2008, 07:48:55 PM »
Is there a recognised formula that one should use in tournaments (or in a series of tournaments in may case).

I am running approx 20 tournaments over about 6 months and want to take in as many variables that are actually relevant.

I've tried to think of things like reducing points for those who have had more rebuys than others, and also how many rebuys there were or how much money went into a comp or the number of players etc etc.

Anything anyone can offer is appreciated.

Thanks

Help Me / Best 8 out of 10
« on: January 03, 2008, 10:46:10 AM »
Have just finished using the TD2 software at the end of our first club series and it worked really well. The next will be slightly different in that players points will be used from their best 8 out of 10 tournaments.

At the end of each event people come to the screen and want to see where they finished and how this affected their position. I just usually go to the stats screen and then order by points.

How can I do this on a best 8 out of 10 basis?

Thanks in advance.

Help Me / Choose prize for random busted out player
« on: December 06, 2007, 01:04:18 PM »
I've done a search on busting out players and then choosing oen of these randomly but only found one reference which wasn't relevant.

Is it possible to choose a random player from the list, then as each gets busted out, if that player is the one just busted out, trigger an event to do 'whatever'?

Thanks

Suggestions / poker odds calculator
« on: December 05, 2007, 08:06:03 PM »
Hi Corey, we've been using your software for a few weeks now and all the gang love it. As we are all fairly new we have lots of battles over which hands should beat which. Do you have any plans to build a poker odds calculator? There seem to be lots on the web. I'd rather put my money here.

« on: October 28, 2007, 10:43:33 AM »
I can see a way in the help file to reorder sound events but not the sounds library on the left of the screen.

I'm trying to get all of my files on the left in order so I can see whats levels and blinds I have in case I've missed any.

How can I do this please.

Thanks

John
