Equal Chop & Rebuys Remaining

Post by BearMetal »

I've been saving up a few items for my wish list. I think they are trivial asks, but would have a huge impact on my site.
  • Equal Tournament Chop: my players don't want an ICM chop. They want an equal chop for all players left in the tournament, regardless of chips. For the past 5 years, when it gets down the final X players, they text me and I have to login and "Stop" the tournament, which has a side effect of dividing the prize pool equally. Even if there are more players left then prize spots, they offer a chop and usually accept. So if the tournament only pays out three spots, but there are four players left, they may want an equal chop. Maybe there could be an option similar to the current chop offer that shows up at the final table when late registration has ended. Perhaps if there is a configuration option to only offer the equal chop with n number of players left.
  • Number of Rebuys Left: could there be a visual indicator of the number of rebuys that a player has left in a rebuy tournament? Maybe when you hover over a player and you get the little pop out box that shows some information about them, it could be included there.

You can setup an Auto Chop tournament so that equal payouts are made automatically. You have to decide in advance when it will be done by setting the payout percentages equal for the top x places (and enabling the Auto Chop setting).

Each individual player can see their own rebuy count on the Stats tab. Are you wanting players to be able to see other players counts?

My use case is different. For any given tournament, there are always different prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. So it's never going to be an equal amount. About 70% of the time, the remaining 2 or 3 players decide to chop equally. It would be great if this kind of option was allowed. This way, some tournaments could have a winner, but others could be chopped equally based on how the remaining players feel (ie, it's late, their stacks are close enough, etc).

Yes, this is what my players are asking for; the ability to see how many times another players has rebought.
