A real platform for your poker club, not a folder of spreadsheets.
Poker Hawk gives clubs and leagues a persistent home: a member roster, automatic leaderboards, RSVPs that push to player phones, staff roles, photo release flow, and event history that survives between games.
A club is a community, not a series of one-off events.
Once your home game becomes a weekly league — or your weekly league becomes a multi-club series — the spreadsheet stops working. Who's in the points race? Who hasn't played in 3 months? Who's eligible for the championship? Who needs to sign a photo release? Every question takes 10 minutes of cross-referencing.
Poker Club management software fixes that by treating your club as a first-class thing — with a roster, a leaderboard, an event history, and member profiles that build up over time. Run your normal event in Poker Hawk and the club's standings, POY race, and lifetime stats update themselves.
Members get a real account. They RSVP to upcoming events, see standings, get reminders, and check their lifetime stats. Hosts get tools to send announcements, manage staff roles, and pull reports. Everything runs on the same cross-platform stack as the rest of Poker Hawk — desktop for hosts, mobile for everyone, TV display for the room.
Everything a recurring league or club needs.
Built around how poker clubs actually run — not generic event management.
Member roster
Active members, lifetime members, pending invites. Sortable, exportable, with notes per player.
Auto leaderboards
POY (Player of the Year), points, ROI, ITM rate. Configure the scoring formula per club. Updates after every event.
Event RSVPs
Members RSVP from their phone. Hosts see headcount in advance and plan structure accordingly.
Announcements + reminders
Push announcements to all members (next event, schedule change, points race standings). Auto event-day reminders too.
Staff roles
Owner, director, dealer, floor — different permissions per role. Multiple hosts can manage the same club without stepping on each other.
Event history
Every event saved with full results. Filter by date, structure, buy-in. Export the season as a CSV for end-of-year awards.
Member lifetime stats
Each member has a profile showing events played, cashes, ROI, biggest score, head-to-head record vs other members.
Photo release flow
Built-in photo release capture. Members sign once, you keep the record. No more paper forms at the table.
Championship + season events
Mark events as season-qualifying or championship. Auto-calculate qualification standings throughout the year.
From "we should make this a league" to live, in 15 minutes.
Most of the work is one-time setup. After that the club runs itself event-to-event.
- Step 01
Create the club
Name it, set the scoring formula (or use a built-in like PokerStars points or flat ROI), invite your members. Done.
- Step 02
Run an event
Schedule a tournament under the club. Members RSVP from their phones. Run the event with the standard Poker Hawk clock and the standings update on save.
- Step 03
Watch the league build
POY race, member stats, event history — all updating automatically. Members open the app and see standings, you publish announcements when you want.
Poker Hawk vs. the Google Sheets you're using now.
Spreadsheets technically work. They just don't scale past a few events.
