Overview

How the poker tournament clock works

A poker tournament clock counts down each blind level and shows the whole table the blinds and antes in play, so nobody has to ask. Pick a preset, or type in your own small blind, big blind, ante and minutes for every level, and add breaks where you want them. Press start and the clock runs; press it again to pause.

The clock plays a sound one minute before a level ends, a five-second countdown, and a chime when the blinds go up. Open it on a laptop plugged into the TV, or on a tablet on the table, and use fullscreen so the room sees only the clock. It keeps its place if the page reloads, and the structure you typed is saved on that device.

The three presets come from the same engine as our blind structure calculator: nine players, 10,000 starting chips and a 25/50 opening level, with antes from level four and a ten-minute break every four levels. Turbo uses 12-minute levels for a two-hour game, Standard 20 minutes for three hours, and Deep 30 minutes for four. If you want a structure sized to your own player count, chips and finish time, design it in the calculator and open it here in one click.

Tips for running the clock at a home game

  • Put the clock where every seat can see it. A laptop screen facing the host is a clock only the host can read.
  • Announce each new level out loud even with sounds on. The chime tells people something changed; the announcement tells them what.
  • Take the break on schedule and colour up the smallest chips during it. A ten-minute break every four levels keeps a three-hour game on time.
  • Use the minus and plus minute buttons instead of pausing to fix a slow hand. A paused clock drifts the whole night; a minute adjusted keeps the plan.
  • If you run the same structure every week, save it in The Club House once and the clock, seating and payouts come with it.
