How are the tables balanced on a Multi Table Tournament?
Table balancing is when a player is moved from one table to another during a tournament. When a hand ends at a table, a check is made to determine if the number of players is unbalanced. Results can be: • The current table has more than one player over the average player count on all tables. • Enough players have dropped out of tournament, and the remaining players can fit onto fewer tables. If either of these checks is positive players are moved off the table. • If a breakdown is not required then the tournament moves as many players as necessary to bring the tables player count down to the average player count. • On a breakdown the tournament moves all players out of the table and closes the table. In either case the redistribution process fills the tables in random order up to average player count. Players are removed from the position farthest from the dealer position, to the right of the dealer-counter clockwise, and players are placed in the new table farthest from dealer positio
