Managing a poker tournament involves far more than just dealing cards. From the moment players walk in to the final payout, a tournament director orchestrates dozens of interconnected processes. Here's how Your Poker handles the complete tournament lifecycle.
Tournament Creation & Configuration
Every tournament starts with setup. Your Poker lets you configure everything up front:
- Buy-in structure — Set the buy-in amount, starting chips, and whether rebuys and add-ons are allowed
- Blind schedule — Define your blind levels with customisable durations, or use a template from your library
- Table layout — Configure how many tables you have and their capacity
- Payout structure — Choose how the prize pool is distributed across finishing positions
The Blind Timer
The heart of any tournament is the clock. Our blind timer features:
- Real-time countdown using requestAnimationFrame for smooth, accurate timing
- Automatic level progression — Blinds advance automatically when the timer runs out
- Break management — Schedule breaks between levels
- Manual controls — Pause, resume, and advance levels at any time
Player Management
Track every player through the tournament:
- Registration — Add players from your database or register new ones on the spot
- Buy-ins and rebuys — Record every financial transaction
- Eliminations — Track who busted whom, building a complete history
- Seating assignments — Random, fair seating with table balancing
Payouts & Results
When the tournament ends, Your Poker automatically calculates the prize pool and distributes payouts based on your configured structure. Support for multiple rounding methods ensures fair distribution down to the penny — or pound.
Leagues & Seasons
For regular game groups, our league system lets you organise tournaments into seasons with automatic leaderboards and configurable points systems. Track who's been the most consistent performer over months or even years of play.
