Features

01

Live Tournament Management

Track attendance, buyins, add-ons, re-buys, and prize calculations in real time.

Supports national networks like Nuts and Redtooth plus fully configurable private leagues.

02

The Voice of the Venue

AI-generated audio that runs the room for you — blind level changes, break countdowns, and clear announcements throughout the night. Dynamic phrases for match start, return from break, final table, bust-outs, and more. Fully customizable, hilarious, and totally on-brand for your pub.

03

Live Big Screen Timers

Show the clock on TVs, laptops, tablets, projectors, and venue screens. Runs on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, ChromeOS, Fire TV, and the web — and casts over HDMI, Chromecast, AirPlay, and Miracast so practically any screen in the venue can become the tournament clock.

04

Blind Level Management

Fully configurable SB/BB levels, level lengths, and break times. Pre-registration lets players sign up before they arrive.

Player history, live league positions, stats, and leaderboards — all automated. AI-powered analysis surfaces form, venue timelines, streaks, and performance trends so you can get back to the game.
