If I remember correctly, in version one of tournament manager there was the capability of having an audio alert play when a Play level was nearing end. Is this still possible in version 2? Confused

I would like to set something so that the players know that the level is nearing end and they should be dealing the last hand for the current level.

Thanks,
Brian

BTW, I'm using the 4-30-05 build.

Hmm.. There was "break nearing end", but I don't think there was a "play level nearing end"...

Was there?

I'll check my old laptop, I still have it installed on there.

I guess I'm mistaken. Version one did only have the break nearing end. My partner had me sold that there was a play nearing end sound and I thought I remembered that as well. Doh!

One thing in version one that was nice was that you could specify the number of seconds before the end of a break. An chance of that making it back in? What is the default?

I'd really like to see a level nearing end or similar audio event. What does everyone else do to get an audio clip to play at the end of a level? I tried 'timer stopped', but that doesn't seem to do it.

"New Blind Level" is the end of one level/beginning of the next level transition audio event.

I agree... I wouldn't use a blind level "warning"... but if it's easy to do for you...

What I would like to see, as I've stated before, is the "break nearing end" and "touney nearing start" warnings adjustable as to the time they go off other than the default 5 minutes.... or maybe add 1 and/or 2 minute events then you could at least pick the best of the 2/3 options that works for you... or maybe use two... I could see where both 5 AND 1or2 minute warnings might not be a bad thing.

I also don't really see the need for a 'Blind Level Nearing End' warning sounding near the end of every level...

However, I think there would be some value in a 'Re-Buy Period Nearing End' warning, that plays x minutes before the end of the re-buy period.

Cheers,

Here's my reason... I have 3 tables at my house, and not everyone has visible access to the screen during the tournament. I'm focused on the game since I'm playing too. A sound would get my attention because otherwise, I'm not going to be looking at the screen every other minute. I want to be able to focus on my playing, and only deal with the computer when I have to.

I agree with you Doc, I really don't see a need for the system to alert me that the blinds increase is pending. Alerting me when they have changed is sufficient for me.
