Guided path

Run Your First Tournament

The guided path from zero to a finished event — create it, build the blinds, take buy-ins, run the clock, pay out, and crown a winner.

8 lessons

1
Run your first tournament
The whole flow, start to finish — from creating an event to declaring your winner. Follow along and you’ll have a real tournament on the clock.
2
Create a tournament
Name it, set the date and capacity, and choose your registration rules.
3
Build a blind structure
Start from a template sized to your target length, then adjust levels, antes, and breaks.
4
Buy-ins, fees & the prize pool
Set what players pay, add an optional house fee, and watch the live prize pool update.
5
Add players & run check-in
Get players into the event, check them in, and give them a seat and a stack.
6
Run the tournament clock
Start the clock, let blinds advance automatically, and pause or adjust as needed.
7
Set the payouts
Choose how the prize pool splits — a preset shape or custom per-place amounts.
8
End the tournament & finalize results
Confirm the finishing order, verify payouts, and post results to players and history.
