What is the difference between a Rebuy Tournament and a Reentry Tournament?
The most important distinction is that as long as a player rebuys in a Rebuy Tournament, they have not been eliminated from the tournament. Even if they lose all their chips, if they rebuy, there is no elimination. In a Reentry Tournament, when a player loses all their chips, they are eliminated, but have the option to register again for the tournament. The main implications for this in Blind Valet are: Bounties are not issued when a player rebuys, because there was not an elimination. Bounties are issued for every entry in a reentry tournament, as each one is an elimination and a new registration. For league tournaments, by default only a player's first entry counts toward their league finish and points; re-entries are ignored. You can change this per league with the Count re-entries in scoring option in League settings. When enabled, a player's best (deepest) finish across all their entries counts, and their cost, knockouts, winnings, rebuys and add-ons are summed across every entry for custom point formulas.
Where do I record a rebuy?
First, you need to make sure that the Tournament Type is set to Rebuy Tournament on the Blind Structure tab. Then, if you are managing player registrations, just select the vertical menu next to the player that took the rebuy and select the Rebuy option. If you aren't managing registrations, there is a vertical menu in the clock controls where you can add the Rebuy.
How do I record a re-entry?
First, you need to make sure that the Tournament Type is set to Re-entry Tournament on the Blind Structure tab. Then, if you are managing player registrations, just eliminate the player, and then register them again. If you aren't managing registrations, there is a vertical menu in the clock controls where you can add the Re-entry.
Can I generate a link to view the tournament on another device?
There are no public links for viewing tournaments, you need to be logged in with a Blind Valet account that is a member of your club. But you can view and manage the tournament on as many devices you want and all the data is synchronized in real time across all devices.
What do I do if I accidentally eliminate the wrong player?
You can undo tournament actions like eliminations, rebuys, addons, etc. from the Tournament Log (clipboard icon at the top of the tournament screen).
How do league point formulas work?
Each league awards points to players for every tournament, based on the league's scoring system, which you choose when you create or edit the league: Logarithmic Square Root Linear Fixed — you enter the exact points for each place Custom — write your own formula With a Custom formula you can use any of these variables: p — number of players f — finish position b — buy-in c — total cost (buy-in + rebuys + add-ons) k — knockouts z — prize pool n — number of entries (including re-entries) x — bullets used (total buy-ins by the player) w — winnings (amount the player won) m — number of paid places r — number of rebuys a — number of add-ons For example, this formula gives each player a point for every opponent they outlasted, a 2-point bonus for each knockout, and subtracts a point for each rebuy: (p - f + 1) + (2 * k) - r
