when number of players comes to ten which is in my case a final table and I am using suggested movement by TD, to display a seating chart whit bigger font names
You can create a new screen that has the
<seatingchart> token on it to display the final table using whatever fonts/colors you choose. Then use conditions in the Screen Sets to make it display when the number of players gets down to 10. Since you want the clock paused, I assume you want a big seating chart so everyone can find their set at the final table.
... also to pause the clock and when tournament starts again to get back to normal layout
This is the difficult part, because the TD would have to be "aware" that everyone has been seated. There has to be a tournament condition that it can rely on to know this, so it knows to go back to the regular screen.
For example, let's say I have two screens: "regular" and "final table". In the Default Screen Set I can just have the screen "regular". Then I create a Screen Set named "seating for final table" which only has the "final table" screen. Then I set the conditions of the "seating for final table" Screen Set to:
playersLeft = 10. Next, I create an Event with the trigger "A player busts out", also with the conditions
playersLeft = 10, and an action of "Pause the clock".
Now when the rank 11 player busts out and we get to 10 players, the event should fire which will pause the clock, and the Game window should show the "seating for final table" Screen Set, which has the screen with the
<seatingchart> token on it. How do we get the Game window to switch
back to the "regular" screen? Since the conditions were specific, once the next player busts out leaving 9 players the conditions (
playersLeft = 10) will no longer be met and the "seating for final table" Screen Set will no longer be chosen, going back to the "regular" screen. That's fine if you don't mind the "seating chart" screen displayed from the time there are 10 players until the rank 10 player busts out.
The only other thing I could think to do would be to either switch manually to the correct screen and lock the screen, or delete the "seating for final table" Screen Set once you've displayed it long enough.
to display a seating chart whit bigger font names, .... This would be some kind of additional seating chart and specifically for a final table, but with all possibilities to edit font, colors and etc.
The
<seatingchart> token will do this, but it is a bit limited. What would be nice would be a way to display the actual built-in Seating Chart screen with some different settings. Unfortunately this isn't possible today, but I do have it on my to-do list to make this possible some day.
The
<seatingchart> token has been updated in version 3.2 (still in beta:
http://www.thetournamentdirector.net/forums/index.php?topic=4330.0) to allow more control over fonts and colors. Not sure how much that will help, but there it is.
