Preferred machines (for streaming)
Hi.
We are pinball tournament streamers (JDL PINBALL) and would love to have a feature where particular machines (with our streaming rigs on) could be given priority in the selection for each round. This would prevent qualification rounds where neither of our rigs are set-up.
By the way, Matchplay is awesome, we use it for just about all of our tournaments here in Germany.
Cheers!
Jim
This feature is now available in the new version of Match Play. You can mark one or more machines as being preferred and they'll be assigned to a group in every round.

I'd like to request this feature as well. We have a stationary rig and during launch parties we have to manually ensure the launch game is played each round. It would be nice to be able to force the software to always include the defined launch game during selection.

We have a wireless stream rig setups so this really isn’t something that matters to us. But I could see it if value in those facilities that have permanent setup or wired stream gear setups.

Q: Why not move a rig to a machine picked by Matchplay to feature different games on stream..? :)
A: you have to be able to move the rig before the start of the round and make sure the machine you move to is in the next round. After the start of the round players are on the move and it's physically impossible to change to another machine if it wasn't drawn -

A: If the streamer participates in the tournament himself, he cannot wait until the round has started and then convert.

That sounds good, would also like tournament organizers who know his pinballs and their quirks.
I have often wished if one or the other machine was not used as often.
Two to three devices that are sure to be on every lap would be helpful.
A "Rig/Stream Button" (always in the game) or the selection "only if there is no other way" would be useful.

Designate one or more pins (maybe via a checkbox) to be used in every round. During a launch party I want the new pin played by a group in each round. Other arenas chosen at random as needed.
