Multi Table Tournament Decision

I just finished table reshuffling and the prize structure. It works well for GPokr but I've bumped into an interesting decision with kdice. In gpokr, tables can be reshuffled easily because hands are relatively short. In kdice reshuffling requires you to wait until other players are done. So there are three choices here:

1) You play the same people until a table in the tournament can be removed. At this point your table gets broken up and spread over the other tables. In this scenario you need to wait for your table to finish for the next game and when there's a reshuffle you need wait for another table to finish.

2) Games are synchronized. You don't start the next game until all games have finished. At that point tables are reshuffled at random. The benefit here is random players every round but longer waits.

3) Start new games as people are knocked out of current games. This is the quickest way to start new games but it creates a strange effect of winners playing winners and losers playing losers - or in other words big points on one table and none on another.

Thoughts?

How about making a purely heads up tournament? You could make it for stats only not for points. ^^

I vote for not bumping 2 year old threads.

At least it kinda feels like this site has some direction. As long as you don't read the dates. :P

tournaments are infested with PGAers. you can never win without an alliance. it's a mood point choosing any of the 3 options.

my wife has mood points all the time.

did anyone else read through this and get excited by:

1) CS's idea to have players chatbox be exclusive from gallery chatbox
2) Ryan saying he was implementing an achievement system

damn, remember that yahtzee type dice game someone found where there were a shit-ton of achievements (medals) that you could earn, and das and int raced to 100? would definitely create more buzz and playing on this site if you had like 200 random trophies you could earn...
