Table Consolidation Wizard

Overview

The table consolidation wizard attempts to consolidate poker tables, meaning if all players can fit on fewer tables it will help you manage that in a fair manner. The table consolidation wizard is invoked after every elimination from the elimination wizard. It can also be invoked on demand from the tournament seating panel.

How it works

Determining if conosolidation is possible

First, the wizard determines if consolidation is possible. To do that, it takes the current "ideal table load" setting (specified on the touranment seating panel) and determines how many tables are required, based on that value, to seat the remaining players.

If consolidation if not possible, the wizard will display a dialog letting you know that consolidation 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..

Consolidating

Assuming that consolidation is possible, the wizard will inform you of that fact and let you choose who gets reseated as part of the consolidation. You have two options here:

Clearing all tables essentially makes everyone get up and move to a new seat. Most tournaments use this option once they get down to a very low number of tables.

Clearing only the table(s) being removed will clear only the tables that are being broken down.

In either case, all players that were removed from their seats are reseated using the seating wizard.

Completion

After the consolidation is complete, a dialog appears displaying all reseated players with their old and new seating locations.
