As a tourney organizer I want to be reminded when it is time to color up so that the table is free of unnecessary chips. #6

Could perhaps have the minimum denomination on screen at all times. Maybe blinds gui has min denomination as well as next blinds and next min denomination so you can be prepared. Maybe when the minimum changes for the next level it changes colors on screen to indicate you should be coloring up something at this point.

  • Could ask the user for denominations being used then use math to determine smallest denomination necessary.

Or

  • Have the user flag the round when setting the schedule.

Or an up arrow next to the min denom to indicate color up instead of a gui with lots of different colors.

I like showing all denominations in play. Could have an image for a chip and the denomination on it. Change the alpha when it is time to start removing the chips. Could show the new denomination when it is time to start adding it in.

Yah, perhaps like a vertical bar on the side that has pictures of chips with their colors/value that are in play. Then when you enter a new round which makes one unnecessary you can alpha it out 50% and maybe put an up arrow next to it to indicate it needs to be colored up.

I don't think we need to make it complicated on doing math to figure out when to color up. We can add an optional entry in the json to indicate a level we chip up on.

I like the idea of having the chips colors and values on the screen. Maybe something like what is one this flyer: http://www.homepokertourney.com/docs/poster-blinds-1000-11-c-2.pdf There are a ton of resources on that site too, like poker league info, including software for managing leagues: http://www.homepokertourney.com/poker-leagues.htm

I assumed coloring up would be all mathematical. Given the chips available (might be hard coded at first, 25/50/100/500 wtv) and the blinds config, you should be able to say the minimum required chip so then you can chip up that level that the minimum goes up, or the one after if it's not common to do it right away or whatever?

I didn't think the math for that would be that complicated. Worst case brute force it and number of levels will be pretty small so it should be fine.

This is basically done. Needs refactored and tests added.
