The table balance wizard attempts to balance poker tables, meaning that the number of players at each poker table should be as equal as possible. The table balance wizard is invoked after every elimination from the elimination wizard. It can also be invoked on demand from the tournament seating panel.
First, the wizard determines if balancing is necessary. To do that, it compares the number of players at each table and determines if the difference between the high table and the low table is within the tolerance specified on the tournament seating panel.
If balancing if not possible, the wizard will display a dialog letting you know that balancing is not possible right now and then exit. Note: if the wizard was invoked as the result of an elimination, no dialog will appear...the wizard will just exit..
Assuming that balancing is possible, the wizard inform you of that fact and present you with the "Table Balance Wizard" dialog.
The dialog presents you with the following components:
For each of the poker tables, you are shown the current seating chart for that poker table. Each seat has a "marker" attribute. What that "marker" depends on the method you are using. It may mean button position. It may mean big blind position.
You can use the markers along with the "Select a player and seat using chosen method" button to select the most approprate player to move and seat to move them into.
Regardless of the method, the dialog will move a player from the selected row at the "From" table to the selected row at the "To" table.
The wizard will keep executing until the tables are balanced.
