2 become 1 - final table question!

Balancing two tables of eight is not that difficult when you think it through. You start with two tables of eight. You only need to move someone if you get to a situation where you have 6 and 8. Then just wait for the button to hit the first empty seat at the 6 tables and pull the button from the 8 table over to the 6 table so they remain in the same position. Now you have 7 and 7. The next move is at 7 and 5, then 6 and 4. At this point if your table is large enough you can combine for a final table of 10.

Good point! When you put it like this, it's not as much hassle as I imagined.

Although, why wait for the button to hit the empty seat?

Regarding moving players. I have seen a number of suggestions. Homepokertourney recommends that you move someone in relation to the dealer. So if the small blind gets knocked out on table two, then the current small blind on table one is the person to move to table two.
