Players can have avatars in v3.

How should they be utilized to make the tool more fun and tournaments easier to run?

Post your ideas in this thread.

Sounds like a great idea. Would make things easier for our group. Having the avatars on the seating chart and results list on the console overlays would be excellent.

How about at elimination??

Flash a screen saying that player "x" is eliminated and show their avatar.

Here's something to consider - have the elimated avatar get bumped off the screen by the eliminator's avatar - and have the assigned avatar sound play after the default announcement plays! Something like: "Players! You are one seat closer to the money!" And then have the signature sound file play...

Max

I could go on for days with this idea!

You could do a Pac Man style chomping of the KO's player's avatar. Just have to build the animated .gif on the fly. Surely that's no biggie.
