Set Up a TournamentHow-to
Recreate your blind structure
Rebuild a structure you loved in TD and save it as a reusable template.
Poker Hawk doesn’t import TD structure files, but rebuilding one is fast — and once it’s a template, it’s one tap forever after.
1
Start from a template or scratch
Open a new tournament’s Blind Structure. Pick a built-in template that’s close to yours as a starting point, or start empty.
2
Enter your levels
Add each level’s small blind, big blind, ante, and duration to match your TD schedule. Add breaks where you had them.
3
Check the length
The estimated runtime updates as you go — tune durations or the blind factor until it matches the night you want.
4
Save it as a template
Save the finished structure as a template so every future event starts from it — no rebuilding.

Keep a couple of templates — a deep-stack Saturday structure and a faster weeknight one — and switching between them is a single choice at setup.
