Set Up a TournamentHow-to
Set up your chipset and starting stack
Define your chip denominations and how many of each player starts with.
Your chipset defines the denominations in play and the starting stack each player gets. Getting it right up front keeps color-ups clean and the stack looking the way you want on the table.
1
Open the Chips tab
In tournament setup, go to Chips. You’ll define denominations and the starting stack here.
2
Add your denominations
Enter each chip value you’ll use (e.g. 25 / 100 / 500 / 1000). Match the physical chips you actually have.
3
Set the starting stack
Specify how many of each denomination a player starts with. The total starting stack updates as you go.

A starting stack of 50–100 big blinds (at level 1) gives a comfortable, skillful game. Fewer plays faster; more runs longer.
