Run the ClockHow-to

Run the tournament clock

Start the clock, let blinds advance automatically, and pause or adjust as needed.

Once players are seated, the clock runs the night. Start it and Poker Hawk advances the blinds for you — you just handle the exceptions.

1
Open the live controller
From the tournament, open the live controller. The current level, timer, and next blinds are front and center.
2
Start the clock
Tap start. The timer counts down the level and rolls to the next one automatically.
3
Pause when you need to
Dinner break, a dispute, a big announcement — pause the clock and resume when you’re ready.
4
Adjust a level (carefully)
You can jump ahead or extend the current level. Never roll back mid-hand — players have already acted on the current blinds.
