From your template.
To the final hand.

Every tournament starts in Events, a plain one-night tournament too. Choose a starting point: a new setup, a template, the club’s last night, or a saved night. Fill in the name, buy-in and stack, say when you want to be done and how many players you expect, and FeltTD builds a blind structure that ends around that time, then tells you what it made.

• Start now with the clock stopped, or plan it for a date and time: the lobby counts down to it.
• Ready for tonight on the Tournament tab checks blinds, prizes, seats and the room screen. Nothing on it blocks the start.
• Templates for setups, blinds and payouts, kept in the club’s library, shared between clubs as a file.

Buy-in, rake and starting stack, with a line that says what reaches the pot. Rebuys and add-ons each have a switch that locks once money went through it. Late registration closes at an hour or after a level. Behind “Advanced”: several buy-in options with their own price, rake, bounty and stack, chip bonuses, house money added to the pool, a chip adjustment for the count.

• Bounties as a whole knockout or progressive (PKO) with a cash share.
• Prices changed after people paid? Keep the existing deals or apply to everyone; FeltTD shows the difference first.
• Reset keeps buy-ins and seats, registrations only, or nothing.

A player is registered (on the list, not paid), paid (counts for the pool), and seated (has a table and a seat), and FeltTD shows each separately. Type a name and press Buy-in; a name it does not know is created in the club database on the spot. Twenty at the door? F2 opens Quick register: tick them as they come, Buy-in now, Auto-seat, register all. The window stays open for the next walk-in.

• Groups pre-register the regulars in one click.
• Seat slips and receipts print from the player’s row.
• After closing time, “Let in anyway” admits one player and marks them late in the report.

Press Start and the clock runs on the TV, on every network screen and on the floor phones. From then on the top bar of the manager holds it: pause, a minute more or less, the next level, and the last action beside it, one click to take back. The TV views are a click away: clock, lobby, seats, blinds, ranking, chips, prizes, podium.

• Blinds while running: edit a level and the TV shows it at once; the time left now is never touched.
• Chip-up flagged on a break: the screen says so five minutes before.
• Keys: F2 register, F3 unbust, F4 clear the TV, F6 pause, F7/F8 a minute, Ctrl+arrows a level.

Bust a player and FeltTD asks who made the elimination (needed for bounties), and offers Rebuy instead while the player still can. Two out in the same hand: the bigger stack at the start of the hand finishes higher. FeltTD watches the tables: uneven by two or more and it says so, with Auto move; a table that can be broken gets a Break button.

• The break planner draws new seats as a suggestion. Pick up, swap, set aside, redraw, then confirm. The TV shows the new seats for two minutes while the clock keeps running.
• Seat locks for a wheelchair, blocked seats for a broken chair, seating rules that keep two players apart. Warnings in amber, never blocks.
• Chip counts typed as 48.5k, with who leads and whether the total matches the chips sold.
• Hand-for-hand appears on the bubble, stops the clock, and ends by itself when the bubble bursts.

Automatic prizes use a payout model with entry ranges: more players, more places paid, always adding up to the pool to the cent, rounded to your step (5 by default). The FeltTD standard model comes built in, paying 12.5 to 15% of the field; save your own beside it. Manual mode is for deals, a paid bubble or fixed amounts, and every tab warns when the prizes no longer match the pool.

• Pot forecast: what does first get if we hit forty? Only in that window; the TV always shows the real pot.
• Deals: ICM and chip chop side by side for up to twelve players, shown on the TV, booked as prizes in one click.
• Print sheet with a signature line per place, marked final or provisional.

The tournament finishes by itself. Then: the summary with every figure of the night, the printed payouts, a replay in the time machine, and the ranking that already counts it. An error found a day later? “Correct this night” reopens it. Copy it as next week’s tournament, structure only or with the players.

• Undo, always. Jump back up to three actions; if another device acted in between, FeltTD refuses rather than undo someone else’s work.
• Restore a moment rewinds the night to any point, after writing a rescue copy first.
• A played night is closed, never deleted.

Flights can stop after a level or at a share of the field, with rules for a player who bags more than once. Day 2 carries the qualified stacks and the event’s money. Satellites award tickets toward a target event, with an optional cash remainder. Run up to five tournaments at once, with the cash room alongside them.

Structure generator, chips bank, mystery bounty suggestions and a deal calculator. Search the TDA rules and show a rule on the TV. The lobby QR lets a player join the registration list; you still take the buy-in.

Import players, blind structures and played nights from supported files from your old software. The database and league can start with the club’s existing history.
