Tournament w/ different starting amounts?

Post by iplayforkeeps23 »

Is it possible to configure a tournament and change the starting chips for each player?

No, everyone gets the same starting stack. No changes can be made while the tournament is online.

Thanks for the quick response. Would be a great feature to have the ability to change players starting stacks pre tournament.

Maybe if ya ask nicely Kent could implement it in V7.. My thought maybe to implement it would be looking for a permission key type thing for like early bird registration or something is Im guessing what your getting at wanting.. Kinda of like what some live places offer if you register early or play a certain amount you can get extra chips for like a daily tournament or something.. (The key check Kent seems to be really the easiest solution if you decided to do it but again it would have to be a V7 implementation obviously as it would require some recoding of some core of the tournament subsection Im guessing).

We run a league where points are earned throughout the season and those points are used in formula to determine starting stacks for the year end "freeroll". Adding this feature would be very useful.

What about adding the chips to their stack after the tournament starts. I thought I read that you could do that.
