Rules clarification for a home tournament

[barrett]

Some friends of mine are coming up with a published set of tournament rules. Here's a situation that a copule of us are trying to clarify.

Let's say you have 3 players left in a tournament. The big blind is eliminated. Who should now get the button and small blind on the next hand? Player 1 or 2 as shown below in the diagram.

D 1


BB 3 SB 2

Well that diagram didn't come out they way I spaced it but you get the idea...

Heads up the small blind is on the button.

[punkass]

I may be incorrect, but I think logic says to me that the one who paid the SB is now the BB, and the other guy would then have to be the button and SB.

Am I right?

D 1

BB 3 SB 2

if BB, seat 3, is knocked out this hand then the dealer button moves to seat 2 and he becomes the new dealer and SB (again) since the blinds switch when play becomes heads up

The problem with that would be that the player in position 1 would get the dealer button twice.

The position that would be next in line for the BB gets it, and the other player gets SB on the button.
