During the tournament you work in the tournament room. It has two tabs: clock and seating.
Payment
Mark each player as paid in the player list once their buy-in is settled. If many have paid before you got round to marking them, Confirm payment for all does it in one go.
Press Start tournament while some registered players are not marked as paid, and the Console asks first. You can confirm payment for all and start, start anyway, or cancel and check the list. It is a reminder, not a block.
The clock
Blind levels advance automatically when a level runs out. The room also shows players left, rebuys, add-ons, average stack, total chips and prize pool.
The clock can only be driven while the tournament is actually running — before it starts, it is read-only. That stops anyone nudging the clock on a tournament that hasn’t begun.
To put the tournament on a screen in the room, open the clock view on that screen. What it shows is configured per club — see Templates and setups.
Seating
Click a seat to act on that player: change their stack, move them, or eliminate them.
When someone busts
Record the elimination as it happens. The finishing position comes from the order, and both the clock and the board keep up.
Two players busting on the same hand still have an order: the shorter stack at the start of the hand finishes lower. Enter them that way.
Every registration has a fixed attender number (1001, 1002, …) shown next to the name — including in the confirm dialog when you eliminate. Two players with the same name can’t be mixed up.
When you eliminate, the Console asks who knocked the player out. It is optional — tap “Skip” — except in the bounty phase of a mystery-bounty tournament, where the player who made the knockout draws an envelope and the amount shows straight away. The winner also gets a push notification. With many players left, you can search the list.
You can eliminate straight from the clock: Eliminate player opens the player list without leaving the tournament room.
After finishing, the results show a folded eliminations overview — who knocked out whom, bounty per knockout and the top three. Knockouts recorded without a name show as “unknown”.
If the players agree to a deal
Sometimes a tournament ends without being played out — the last two or three agree to split the pool and stop. That is what Premiefordeling og avtaler in the tournament room is for.
You can split the remaining money two ways:
- Chip chop — strictly by each player’s share of the chips on the table.
- ICM — the Independent Chip Model, which values a stack by the prize money it is likely to win rather than by its size alone. It gives the short stacks a little more than a raw chip count does, which is usually the fairer read late on.
Either way you can override the amounts by hand before confirming; the panel shows what is left to assign and warns if you go over the pool.
Confirming records those amounts as prizes, marks everyone in the deal as a winner, and ends the tournament. Players already busted keep the places and payouts they earned.
Scoring treats a deal as a genuine tie: everyone in it shares the placement covering the positions they split, so three players who deal at the end all score as 2nd. It cannot be undone, so agree the numbers at the table first.
Table balancing
If the tables go lopsided after an elimination, the Console says so and offers to move a player automatically. To handle it yourself, choose manual and click the seat you want to move.
Guests
Players without an account can join in. They are registered as guests, play normally, and get a finishing place and points in the tournament, but do not appear on the club scoreboard or in league standings. See Guests and accounts.
Finishing
When the last hand is done, finish the tournament. The finalize card shows the whole pot calculation — any club-expenses share and league portion are deducted before the prizes are split, so nothing shrinks silently. The result is locked in, the leaderboard updates, and the tournament goes to the archive. The tournament room shows “Completed” instead of the clock, with a button back to the tournament page. Players are notified in the app and taken straight to the results.
Money moves outside the app. DealMeIn records the numbers and displays them — the rest is between you.
