Heres a question for you. Would it be possible to run a team poker game on Tournament Director?
Scenario. Team Game.
16 teams of 5 players each. 80 players in total.
Prize pool will be split into 2 parts with:
- 50% for individual prizes (pays 8 place)
- 50% going to the winning team
The final 40 players will be awarded points for their individual finishing position, your score increase by 1 point. So that eventually 1st place will get 40 points.
The prize pool would be easy to do. Just adding a manual prize for the team game. (The prize pool is known in advance).
Awarding the points would be easy. Just the basic formula.
But its adding the points for each team together that i think would be a problem. To be honest i have no idea of where or how to start.
What i would like to do is to be able to display (in real time) the running totals (on a separate screen), for all the different teams as and when the points are awarded.
So that all the players would be able to see the running scores, of all the teams
On the screen would be displayed. A separate box for each team, which would include,The names, position finished and the points that each player in that team has earned (if any).
But also displayed on the screen would be a list of what points are still to win.
I have thought about making 16 new leagues: Calling each league:- Team A, Team B, Team C and so on.
And then adding the players and calling them (using the "
nicknames" on the database tab )
Team A John Team B Spike Team C Phil
Team A Fred Team B Lee Team C Danny
Team A Dave Team B Martin Team C Donny
Team A Mike Team B carol Team C Ronny
Team A Kath Team B Martin Team C Billy
Do you think this would be possible to do? And if it could, could you point me in the right direction, give me some ideas of how or even if this can be done.
Any comments or suggestions both good or bad would be very welcome.
Thanks in Advance.
