How to get HUD positioned correctly in tourneys?

The ignition hand grabber now supports tourneys. But I can't figure out how to make "Hero" show up where it should be. I'm confused. It works ok for cash. Under site configuration it allows you to choose your preferred seating. I have chosen this... where is this option for tournaments? My tournament hud is not in the right place.

Nevermind. As soon as I chose "treat as 9-handed" everything fell into place. Not sure why I had to do this.

We do not have exact table size information from Ignition so if your table starts out with less than 6 players PT4 will assume it is 6-max. This shouldn't happen too often for tournaments, but it is possible. Preferred seating should work the same for tournaments as it does for cash - there aren't separate settings.

I am playing cash now, the seating is off and I can't seem to change it. Modifying it in the configuration doesn't seem to have any effect.
Ok, in order for the config to work, you have to stop hud display and the restart it. I had to change the setting to the other side of the table to get my seating correct. ??

The position of "Hero" is different for cash vs. tournament play. To get it to the 5 seat for cash, I have to set the site configuration to the 9 seat.
Yesterday, in tournament I had to change it to the correct place, the 5 seat.
There aren't 2 different places to configure this, right?

There aren't different settings for cash/tourney preferred seating. If you want to set things so the preferred seating settings for cash match in PokerTracker 4 and Ignition again you can manually move the HUD and save the positions again but if the HUD is in the correct place now it isn't absolutely necessary to do that.

There is one location for choosing a seating preference. Unfortunately, while it is correct for tourney play (I just play the freerolls) it is incorrect for cash play. For cash play, I have to chose the 9 seat in the preferences to be able to get the 5 seat as preferred in cash. It was suggested I could move the display around manually and I tried that. The problem is that once a hand is over, the post-hand display (what each player had) does not follow the manual movement and shows up as if I did no manual adjustment. This is annoying.. I have to keep switching back and forth, depending on which I'm playing. They should be some resolution for this, I would think... some reason this is happening. I haven't seen anyone else complain, interestingly enough.

You can also move and configure the mucked cards display by clicking the PT-icon and selecting 'Configure Mucked Cards'. When you have the mucked cards placed where you want you should then save the new positions by clicking the PT-icon and choosing 'Save Layout'.
