I'm hosting a 2 table tourney at the house tomorrow night (my first) and just in case one table shrinks faster I would like to move a stack over from the other table. Is there a typical way you decide who? My idea was to move a certain seat - UTG + 1 or something like that. My table can hold up to 10 ppl and we have 16 coming so until 6 people are out, we won't be down to one table. I doubt 5 will come from one table with the other staying full, but I don't want more than a 1 person discrepancy.

THanks

High card?

I don't play much live, but at 1 place I played that usually had a couple of tables running, if 1 table started to shrink while the other didn't, the dealer at the table with more people would deal each person a card face up, and the high card would move to the "shrinking table." Not sure if that's the standard or not (and even if so, I'm not sure if tourneys are the same since this was ring), but it seemed fair.

 Where I've done most of my live play, they do it by seat in relation to the button.

If the short table needs a player UTG, the person UTG from the bigger table moves.
