Would it be possible to streamline eliminations if you don't need/want to use eliminators? I was thinking maybe something along the lines of the following:

Hot key (e), then player ID#, then Enter.

This would eliminate the need to see the elimination wizard if you knew the player ID#'s. I don't dislike the tool, but I was just looking for a way to simplify the procedure for the clock operator if he was playing and involved in a hand. I know that eliminations don't need to be logged immediately, this was just an idea. I hope this is not as bad as the "flashing component" idea seemed to be. Embarassed

Well, the other option is to go to the roster, select the player and hit "eliminate".

Yeah, that's what I've been doing. It was just a thought to ... oh well, I'll just file this right behind my other great idea. puke_r

I'd second this upgrade. While I think the current method is easy to use, 99% of my league members still can't figure out how to RSVP on e-vite. It would be great if the elimination process could be stupid-proof: Hit E, then click on your name, then hit OK.

I was thinking 4 keystrokes would be faster than having to navigate away from the console. The current procedure is fine, but for bums like me, I was just looking for a short-cut. It would be cool for rebuys and add-ons also.

Actually, you don't have to navigate away from the console now. You can buy-in, add-on, rebuy and eliminate from the console OR the roster.

Yes sir. I suppose all I'm really trying to do is eliminate the use of the mouse which is more of a lazy issue rather than a fix issue. This was not meant to be a complaint, just a suggestion.

I've only used the software twice since I got my laptop fixed, and we have totally enjoyed the vast improvement over the other timer. Thanks again.

This is the way I do it (and have taught my wife and friend)... works just fine...

That's actually the way it worked a LONG LONG time ago.

Then people wanted to track eliminators.
Then I ran into my first case of two people being eliminated at once.

So, rather than have a bunch of different ways to do it depending on your situation, we now just have one standard elimination wizard.

Good enough. My group has never been accused of being smart. I fit in well with them.
