Tournament log
The Log screen keeps a detailed, timestamped record of everything that happens in your tournament. It’s more than a record: the log is the tournament. Seating, payouts, and stats are all derived from these entries, which is why undoing or editing one ripples through the rest of the app.
What gets logged
Section titled “What gets logged”Every significant event is automatically recorded:
- Timer events — Timer started and timer paused
- Level changes — Blind increases and break starts, including the new blind values and duration
- Money and chips — Buy-ins, addons, rebuys, and bounty chip purchases, each with the player, chip amount, and cost
- Knockouts — Who was eliminated and by whom
- Removals — Players who left the game
- Seating changes — Table and seat assignments
- Player chips / Player hands — A recorded chip count, or a player’s hole cards. These arrive from a connected player’s self-report (see Player profile updates), from Add log entry below, or from Simulate, and they’re what feed the chip leader and high hand timer widgets
Viewing the log
Section titled “Viewing the log”Entries run in chronological order with the newest at the bottom, and the screen opens scrolled to the latest event. A timestamp pill heads each new minute. Each entry shows:
- Icon — A type-specific icon (timer, cards, person, etc.)
- Title — Description of the event (e.g., “John eliminated by Sally”)
- Subtitle — Additional details like chip and cost amounts
Undo and redo
Section titled “Undo and redo”Player entries (buy-ins, addons, rebuys, knockouts, removals, seating, bounty chip purchases) and Player chips / Player hands entries can be undone and redone.
- Undo — Tap the undo button in the app bar to reverse the most recent action. The entry stays in the log but is marked as disabled (shown with reduced opacity).
- Redo — Tap the redo button to restore a previously undone entry.
These buttons only appear when there are actions available to undo or redo. An entry flagged as invalid can’t be undone — editing is how you fix those.
Working with a single entry
Section titled “Working with a single entry”Tap the ⋮ button on a row to act on that one entry:
- Undo / Redo — The same reversal as the app bar buttons, but aimed at this entry
- Edit — Change the players or values on a player or a Player chips / Player hands entry
- Delete — Remove the entry outright. Available to the tournament’s owner, and to whoever created the entry
A ⚠ in place of the ⋮ means the entry no longer fits the rest of the log — a buy-in for a player who was already knocked out, say. Tap it and edit the entry to sort it out.
The log menu
Section titled “The log menu”The app bar’s ⋮ menu holds three more actions:
- Add log entry — Record something by hand. Choose the entry type (Player chips or Player hands, plus any custom types the tournament defines), pick the players, and enter their values.
- Replay — Step through the tournament visually; see below.
- Reset — Return the tournament to its unplayed state. If it has already finished, you’re offered the chance to save a completed copy first.
Replay
Section titled “Replay”When the timer is paused and the log has entries, the app bar’s ⋮ menu offers Replay. Tap it to open the Replay view. See Replay for details on stepping through your tournament visually.
Replay isn’t offered for tournaments using simplified player data.
