Set Up a TournamentHow-to
Save and reuse tournament presets
Turn a fully configured event into a one-tap starting point.
If you run the same format every week, a preset saves the whole configuration — blinds, chips, financials, and rules — so your next event is a one-tap starting point instead of a fresh setup.
1
Configure an event fully
Set up a tournament the way you like it — blinds, chips, buy-ins, modifiers, and preferences.
2
Save it as a preset
From setup, choose Save as preset and give it a recognizable name (“Friday $20 Turbo”).
3
Start from it next time
Creating a tournament, pick your preset to load everything at once — then tweak the date and go.
Presets are separate from blind templates: a template is just the blind schedule; a preset is the whole event configuration.
