Right now the available player states are Expected, Active, and Eliminated. I think a "not-expected" state would be a good addition.

I'm running a home based game which has about 12 different people who show up (normally about 8 a game). I want to keep all of their information in the program, and yet all of them are never expected at each game. It would be easier to prepare a game if there was another status.

Just my 2 cents.

I'd like to see just the players who have bought it go to the seating list...

That surprised me too last tourney nite. I was used to seeing only bought-in players and grabbed them all to seat. Not enough seats for the 50 or so players on the list!

It is easy enought to sort the "bought ins" though it seems to me there could be an internal filter that would not let you seat an inactive player.

I believe there was an enhancement had been requested to allow you to seat someone who had not bought in (ie they are late and you know they are coming)....so I believe that's what you ran into...

I personlly like the "Not Expected" idea....and maybe a popup when seating players warning you if you are seating someone not bought in .......

yeah, jeff added the ability to seat non-bought in players to allow you to 1) pre-seat your tournament and 2) seat players "on their way" but not there yet. i too am starting to rely on a master roster, and so would support a "not expected column," with the added ability to make those so checked invisible.

I "rely on a master roster, and so would support a "not expected column," with the added ability to make those so checked invisible."

I'd also like to have a master list of player which I could select to be 'expected' then from there 'present', etc.

Especially since the TM supports the league points, it only follows to support players which may or may not make every game but you'd like to avoid entering their info every time...

Tossing my hat in the ring in support of this request.

Does the new player database capability address all the concerns here?

Iâ€™d say yes with a butâ€¦..Yes it does give you a list to pull players from so you donâ€™t have to â€˜storeâ€™ them in your â€˜componentsâ€™ and import them every time and you no longer have to save the component separately when you add a new playerâ€¦..but you canâ€™t perform a buy-in from the main console without adding a player from the database to the â€œplayers tabâ€.

My thought is that it would be nice to be able to pull someone from the database on the fly (from the console) plus I just prefer to perform my buy-inâ€™s there instead of from the â€œplayers tabâ€ (from the countdown)â€¦â€¦I tend to have players that are a little flakyâ€¦.sometime they say they are coming then donâ€™t show, sometime they show and werenâ€™t expectedâ€¦â€¦.that way I wouldnâ€™t have to switch back to the â€˜config panelâ€™ to add a playerâ€¦â€¦

Now in the original post:

With the new print features, you can print a sign in sheet. But it will print everyone listed in the tournament regardless of state. If you are not expecting a person and do not want them on the list, you must delete them from your tournament file.

You could re-import them from your player database (but that means you have to remember to save your players to the database).

I still think a "not-expected" state would be a good idea.

Ahhh. So you are saying do not keep the players in the base tournament, import them into each individual tournament.

I guess it's the diference of a checkbox or a player file. I guess I'm just trying to keep everything in one place.

That *was* the intent of the player database.

However, I can still see the value in another state.
