When you attempt to eliminate a player from a tournament, you are presented with the elimination wizard. The wizard may be invoked from several places, but primarily it will be invoked from either the console (via a hot key or the pop-up menu) or the tournament roster panel.

This is a listing of all active tournament players...anyone who has bought into the tournament and still has a chance of winning.
This is a listing of the players being eliminated. This may or may not be pre-populated, depending on if you told the wizard in advance who you were attempting to eliminate.
In this panel, you can also specify whether or not the players being eliminated are rebuying and which rebuy options they are purchasing. By default, the table will display only the rebuy options that are valid at the current betting schedule segment, but you can change option visibility with the buttons above the table.
If you are eliminating multiple players at one time, you can also specify their relative finishing order using the buttons below the table. If you do not adjust the relative finishing order when eliminating multiple players at once, those players will all tie in the standings.
This is a listing of the players who are responsible for knocking out the players being eliminated.
Note: It's entirely possible to have more than one eliminator. In fact, Dr. Neau has actually had a hand in his tournament where two players were knocked out of a tournament in a hand that was chopped three ways.
Note that your tournament may or may not require eliminators, depending on your preference. This preference is specified on the tournament knockout log panel.
