Ranking games to start with 5 players & 2 players ?

[Supraglider]

Is it feasible to organize a rankings pokerth games with tables of 5 or only 2 players ?

It's sometimes very interesting to start with 5 players or start directly in heads-up to improve us skills.

No plans on that - sorry.

The change would mean heavy modification of server-code (also a bit for client as new ranking game types should be available for creation) ... and as I already informed you: our c++ coding team currently is 2 persons max - currently being heavily involved with upcoming release.

EDIT:

The best choice is to put up some effort by yourself - like wec and bbc as a best example for cups created inside of this PokerTH environment. You do have the ability of creating custom games and can do all what you want with it. Before I created the current web-sites for wec and bbc, these projects were successfully self-organized and still are!

There also was a heads-up tournament driven by a player - and also a husc-cup experiment from 1st bbc-website developer: Both did not survive in the longterm of PokerTH existance due to too less participation.

Just to add, you can't have one fair ranking with different table sizes.

Thank you very much sp0ck for your answers and clarifications.

it's a shame that the heads-up tournament was abandoned but I can understand if it requires work for the C++ code & create a automatic postponement of rankings.

Okay BBC stay a really nice way to progress with games every day & WEC for the strongest =)


And as announced in this news item : https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releas ... 15309.html
This is the big comeback of the National Heads-Up Poker Championship !

Indeed, there can be no fairness with a table of 10 or 2 players but doesn't matter if there is a leader-board with ranking for each table =)

Anyway, maybe on day a Heads-Up Cup will come, i hope
