Many of us need to eliminate players in order of finish to keep point standings correct for the leagues. Multiple eliminations are usually ranked by chip count at the time you are eliminated.

I guess the process could be improved if the program promted you as to the order of elimination if you had selected multiple names.

If you want to eliminate players in a specific order for finish purposes, then you need to eliminate them separately. If you eliminate them in the same operation, they will tie. The program can't simply prompt you for an ordering, because you may have an elimination where you eliminate 4 players at one time, and 1 of them finishes 10th, two tie for 8th and the other gets 7th. That means the elimination routine would have to be a bit more intelligent...and this is all separate from what message is displayed on the screen. This would need to be a more complex elimination dialog that showed players and their final ranking, then allowed you to move them up or down...d'arg. As I type this I'm envisioning how I'll do it. Crap. Now I have to do it.
