Patch coming for Full Tilt "Matrix" update?

[LightCC]

Pat,

While you do not want to add new functionality like fully defining the matrix tournaments, could we have a patch that simply does the following:

- Identifies the Matrix tournaments
- Recognizes that there are 5 separate summary files for the tournament:
--- The Main summary file with the 'overall' winners of the matrix event (with payouts for that portion)
--- The match 1, match 2, match 3, and match 4 individual event summaries
- then parses each summary and simply adds up the total Buy-in, fees, and winnings for each player

I suppose it would have to wait until all 5 summaries are available on disk, but all the information needed is already there to sum up the results. The information needed to identify the matrix games is already in the filename, for example, a recent matrix game I played is:

040920091618584_FT20090408 $10 + $1 Matrix 4x Sit & Go - (86924994) - Summary.txt
040920091618584_FT20090408 $10 + $1 Matrix 4x Sit & Go - (86924994) Match 1 - Summary.txt
040920091618584_FT20090408 $10 + $1 Matrix 4x Sit & Go - (86924994) Match 2 - Summary.txt
040920091618584_FT20090408 $10 + $1 Matrix 4x Sit & Go - (86924994) Match 3 - Summary.txt
040920091618584_FT20090408 $10 + $1 Matrix 4x Sit & Go - (86924994) Match 4 - Summary.txt

So 'Matrix 4x' in the name identifies there will be 5 files, the main one, and Match 1-4. The Buy-in shows up as $2 in each individual summary and the $1 fee is only in the main summary. So all the numbers do add up properly.

It seems like it could be a simple fix.

I'm not making anymore changes to PT2 unless the hand histories stop getting imported because of format changes.

Pat, I appreciate u said u are not going to make any more changes, however I believe 1 small change may be beneficial to 'Matrix' players and probably not a huge change for you to make.

In the Manual Tournament Entry tab, can we add "S&G Matrix" or similar to the dropdown list under 'Table Types'. The users, if they so desire, can change the current 'S&G 1 Table' default to S&G Matrix to differentiate between Matrix events and normal 1 Table S&G's.

If this change would be a big step, I apologise.

Cheers
Bob

You can do this already by going to the Utilities > Customize Tournament Descriptions/Types window and adding the "S&G Matrix" there. Once added, you can select it on the manual tournament entry window.
