No, you can have up to 10 seats per table and up to a 100 tables per tournament. So theoretically you could have up to 1000 players in a tournament.

The Start Min feature is a player voting system designed mainly for single table tournaments. It specifies the number of registered players that must click the "Start Now" box that will appear in the Lobby window when that feature is enabled. It will not work well with large tournaments where you typically start those by one of the other methods.

Just create a 40 seat tournament and set "Start Full" to Yes. Otherwise it makes no sense to create a 50 seat tournament and make it start automatically when 40 people register, right?

Maybe, but if you setup a tournament for 100 players and you think that if it up to 50 you find it okay to start but not a tournament with 100 and start with 10 that make no sens right ?

its mutch more realistic if you can handle the input more, 60 seats min start 30 or 40 80 seats start al 60 etc
its great if whe have more control in that option, i think that the max 10 players limit is to low.

But that's not how the Start Min feature works. You would have to get all 50 of those players to check their Start Now box. If only 49 did then it wouldn't start. You'll never get that many people to do it on their own. The Start Min value doesn't mean that is the number of registered players needed to start, it means that many people have to vote to start it. You could have 50 people already registered and it would take 10 of them (or whatever the setting is) to start it. It's not a good method for large tourneys. Instead use one or any combination of: Manual start by the Administrator, Manual start with a Start Code, Auto start at a fixed time, Auto start when full.
