Help Me / Re: Help with layout spacing

« on: January 30, 2020, 09:14:27 PM »

I'm replying to this old thread since my issue is very similar. When I initially launch TD, the default layout looks perfect, fits the screen etc. However when I load a previously used layout template, the scaling is all off, and elements of the layout are being cut off. I've triple checked and all the size and scaling options are set the same as the default, yet it's displaying differently. Tried the auto-resize option as well and that didn't help either. Please see screen shots attached.

Any help!?

Thanks so much!

Templates, Layouts and Sounds / Re: Sound Event for Table Consolidation

« on: August 09, 2019, 05:41:55 PM »

You were correct, that is why it wasn't working Corey, however it's triggering my balance tables event every time a player needs to be moved. I only want it to trigger that event when tables are being consolidated down and we have to break a whole table. Anyway to specify this? Would a condition like tablesLeft = 4, tablesLeft = 3 etc work? Can you combine multiple conditions into a single event?

Thanks so much!

Thank you Corey. That’s probably exactly what’s happening, since we do have an event for a player busts out. I’ll test that out and let you know.

Appreciate the quick response.

Templates, Layouts and Sounds / Sound Event for Table Consolidation

« on: August 09, 2019, 03:24:22 PM »

I've been trying to create an event for table consolidations, such that when TD suggests a consolidation, the clock automatically pauses, the screen flashes  and a specific sound plays. I have the trigger set to  'A Table Balance is Suggested' and then the 3 actions. But nothing happens when a table balance is suggested. Not sure what I'm missing, but would appreciate some advice on how to get this event to work properly.

Thanks!

Help Me / Re: Main Tournament Screen Not Displaying

« on: July 29, 2019, 06:53:59 AM »

It works for other templates or when I load up past events. It looks like it has to do with the auto-resize option if you right click on the main screen. Once saved, the main tourney screen doesn’t come back and it’s just a solid green/blue screen. I’m rebuilding our tourney template now from a previous event, so should be ok moving forward.

Quick question: We hook up the computer via HDMI to an external monitor. Is there a way to configure the external monitor to display the main tourney screen only and not the settings window when we’re busting players out or consolidating tables etc?

Also: Can’t seem to find a good clear seating chart option to display 4-5 tables that would allow everyone to easily see their seats. Either too small to read or names are getting cut off etc.

Thanks so much Corey!

Templates, Layouts and Sounds / Re: Looking for sound files

Anyone have a good sound file for the start of a tournament? Something like 'Players take your seats. Dealers, please shuffle up and deal' or something similar?

Thanks,

Help Me / Re: Poker League - Formula for calculating points

Thanks so much for your help Corey. We were accidentally adding +5 points to the buy in profiles, so that has since been fixed; ran a test and everything seems to be on the up and up. We also got TD configured with StatsGenie and the import of our tournament data was successful. TD is working out great thus far, good to see that it does exactly what it's advertised to do, and does it amazingly well! Great program.

Thanks so much Corey!

Thanks so much Corey. We used TD this past weekend and it went pretty well... two questions.

1. Based on the formula above, it appears all players outside of the final 9 were awarded the correct number of points (based on knockouts +5 points for playing), however the final 9 were awarded 5 additional points each than they should have received. Can you find any reason why that would be happening?

2. How do I export the Tournament results and then  import them into StatsGenie? once we have the formula working correctly, is there any feature to automate the process with StatsGenie? Is there a way to link the two so league stats get updated in real time?

Thanks,

Is the user manual available anywhere other than within the application itself?

Thanks,

Thanks Corey. From what I've been told from our league manager, the formula above is not producing correct results. I'm being told that it's awarding points correctly for the first 3 spots, but spots 4-9 are getting too many points. Lets take a 28 player field for example:

28 Players * 10 points per player = 280 points
Place of Finish   Points   
1st                      92.4     33%
2nd                     61.6     22%
3rd                     33.6     12%
4th                      22.4     8%
5th                     19.6     7%
6th                     16.8     6%
7th                     14             5%
8th                     11.2     4%
9th                     8.4             3%


Would you be able to please check the formula and see if you get these results. Much appreciated, trying to get this tested and working properly before Saturday's season kick-off!

Thanks,

Thanks so much for your help Corey, greatly appreciate it. But let me clarify a few things, as I may not have explained it exactly right.

Quote

    5 points are awarded to each player per entry in the tournament

These 5 points are awarded just for showing up. I think we can add this in the buy in tab, correct? If so, then no formula is needed for this.

Quote

    5 points are awarded per knockout of another player from the tournament

I don't have the program in front of me (on a mac at work) but I think we solved this by making each player in the tournament a 5 point bounty, so when you knock someone out, you are automatically awarded 5 points. Does this sound correct?


Quote

    15 points are awarded for knocking out the previous events winner

You are correct Corey, the 15 point King of the Hill bounty can be added in the prizes, thank you, so I'm good with this


Quote

    10 points are added to the prize pool per player entered in the tournament, creating the points pool for that event

The prize pool per tournament is determined by number of players in the event. So if we get 28 players, we add 10 points per player, so 280 points would be awarded at that tournament. These points are then distributed based on the percentage breakdown in my original post above:

28 Players = 280 Points
1st - 33% - 92.4 points
2nd - 22% - 61.6
3rd - 12% - 33.6
etc.


29 Players = 290 Points
1st - 33 % - 95.7
2nd - 22% - 63.8
3rd - 12% - 34.8
etc.

If you could be so kind as to please provide me with a modified formula for this breakdown, that would be much appreciated. Also, where/how do I actually enter this in TD (I'm new to the program).

Our first event of the season using Tournament Director is April 21st, so I'll let you know how it goes...

Thanks,

Help Me / Poker League - Formula for calculating points

« on: April 09, 2018, 03:05:01 PM »

I'm switching my poker league over to The Tournament Director for running and tracking point totals throughout the season of our league. I haven't gotten to far into the software yet, but in the interest of time, I wanted to inquire about writing an algorithm for our point system, which is as follows:

5 points are awarded to each player per entry in the tournament
5 points are awarded per knockout of another player from the tournament
15 points are awarded for knocking out the previous events winner (we refer to this as the King of the Hill bounty)

10 points are added to the prize pool per player entered in the tournament, creating the points pool for that event
The official final table of 9 then earns points, based on the following percentages (so number of points per place of finish will vary based on the number of players in that particular event):

1st - 33%
2nd - 22%
3rd - 12%
4th - 8%
5th - 7%
6th - 6%
7th - 5%
8th - 4%
9th - 3%

We also have a 10 tournament season, with the best 7 counting towards the end of the season totals (you drop your 3 lowest tournaments).
Any assistance with the best way to automatically calculate and track all of this in TD would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
