Manual Seat Operations
Rotation handles the usual flow, but sometimes you need to make a change by hand. These moves are available any time during your event, and each one is recorded so nothing gets lost.
What you can do
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Swap seats | Exchange two seated players. |
| Move a player | Seat someone, bench them, or remove someone who left. |
| Reorder the waitlist | Change who gets seated next. |
| Empty a table | Send a whole table back to the waitlist. |
Swap seats
Exchange two seated players. Handy when two friends want to sit together, or to balance a table.
Move a player
Moving a player covers a few common needs:
- Bring someone in from the waitlist into an empty seat.
- Send a seated player back to the waitlist. This is called benching.
- Remove a player who left for the night. You can bring them back later when they return.
Reorder the waitlist
The waitlist decides who sits next, so you can reshape it:
- Send a player to the front.
- Send a player to the back.
- Move a player up or down.
- Move a player to a specific position.
If a regular steps out for a phone call, bench them and send them to the front of the waitlist so they're first back in when they return.
Empty a table
Send everyone at a table back to the waitlist in one move. This is the tidy way to clear a table before you remove it.
Records and notifications
Every move you make is written to the activity log, so you always have a record of who moved and when. Depending on your email settings, affected players may also get a notification. To adjust whether players are emailed, see Club settings.
Nothing here is permanent. A benched or removed player can always be seated again later in the night.
