Moving Players

Moving Players
When do you have to move a player?

In your poker tournament there will be times that players need to be moved from one table to another. Such times arrive when players bust out of the tournament and the tables don't have the same number of players seating at them. If table A has two, or more players more than table B, a random player has to move from table A to table B.

It is fine for a table to have one player more than another table as you can't do anything about that.
How do you move a player?

If you are running the tournament by yourself you can do the following: If a player is busted out from a table (therefore making the table shorter than another), find out his position in relation to the dealer at his last hand. Then go to the larger table and move the player with the same position and move him to the smaller table. So if the busted player was sitting two to the right of dealer, find the player at the larger table who seats two to the right of the dealer and move him to the smaller table.

You can also try high carding the larger table to move a player. But the first method is faster, creates less confusion, and is more fair; it is more fair because the moved player will have the same position in relation to the blinds and therefore will not pay his next blind earlier or later than he should.
