So when you need to balance a table, you draw for it on the table thats going to lose a player, but how do you determine where they player sits at the new table?

Player that will be the big blind gets moved to the worst position available at the new table (big blind or closest seat available to the big blind).

The player to be moved should be the player next destined to be the big blind. He moves to the open seat at the new table that will first be in the big blind (if more than one seat open).

Put them where the eliminated player was sitting.
Alternatively, instead of drawing, you can move the player who is the same position relative to the big blind. As in, if the player eliminated was 3 seats to the left of the big blind on the short table, move whomever is 3 seats to left of the big blind on the overloaded table. And again, they will sit wherever the eliminated player was sitting

This is how I do it.

Thanks guys. So no draw at all unless the whole table breaks.
Just because a table breaks does not trigger a redraw. We usually have three tables and we don't redraw until reaching the final table. Players at the table being broken are given new seating cards at the remaining tables.

How do you determine who goes where?
I agree with moving the BB to the same position at the new table.
I don't draw for seats. I combine tables like this:
' = small blind
" = big blind
+ = button
Table 1 players - a' b" c d e+
Table 2 players - A' B" C D E+
Combined table - A' a' B" b C c D d E e+. On the first hand, there are two small blinds and one big. On the second hand the button moves two players: from player e to player a.
Nobody misses a blind and the relative positions are essentially unchanged.

Do you just hand out seating cards randomly?
If you want to do it the way it's done in a casino MTT, first they deal one card to each player. High card gets the first random seat assignment from the group of cards the floorman is holding, continuing around the table until they are all distributed.
I skip the the high card step, seems like overkill. If you are playing nine-handed tables, and when nine players have busted out, you should have nine seating cards available. If you are breaking table three, remove the table three cards from the group of busted player cards, shuffle and distribute a new seat card to each player remaining on table three. Table two and one will get the players from table three, taking them back up to nine players each.

I dont think I will be running 3 table mtts anytime soon. So all I need to do is move the closest guy to the bb to the closest open seat to the bb at new table, then full redraw when we condense to 1 table.
