Managing players

The Players screen is where you manage everyone in your tournament — from initial buy-ins through eliminations and final payouts.

Adding players

There are two ways to add players:

1. From the Players menu — Tap the people icon in the top right and select “Add players.” A text field appears below the app bar where you can type player names and press Enter to add them one at a time.
2. Import players — From the same menu, select “Import players” to bring in a player list from a CSV file or from other tournaments on your device.

Players start in the “Not bought in” section until they buy in.

Player sections

The player list is organized into three sections with sticky headers:

• Bought in — Active players currently in the tournament
• Eliminated — Players who have been knocked out
• Not bought in — Players added but not yet participating

Each section shows the number of players it contains.

Player actions

Tap any player (or section header) to open the action menu. The available actions depend on the player’s current status:

Buy-in

For players who haven’t bought in yet. Enter the chip amount and cost, then optionally toggle “Buy bounty chip” if bounties are enabled for the tournament. The bounty chip cost is charged in addition to the buy-in — see Bounties. After buying in, you’ll be asked if you want to seat the player at a table.

Addon

For active players when addons are enabled. Gives the player additional chips for a specified cost.

Rebuy / Reentry

For eliminated or active players when rebuys are enabled. If the player was previously eliminated, this is shown as “Reentry.” The player receives a new stack of chips and can be reseated at a table.

Buy bounty chip

For active players who don’t currently hold a bounty chip. Available when the bounty feature is turned on.

Was eliminated

Marks a player as knocked out. You’ll be asked to select who eliminated them — this is tracked for stats and bounty purposes. If a player with a bounty chip is eliminated, the bounty transfers to the eliminator.

Note

If the timer is running and a knockout brings the tournament down to one remaining player, the timer automatically pauses.

Seat / Reseat / Unseat

• Seat — Assign bench players to table seats
• Reseat — Move seated players to different seats
• Unseat — Return players to the bench

Left game

Removes a player from the tournament. If the bubble hasn’t burst yet, this appears as “Left game or Chop” to handle situations where remaining players negotiate a deal.

Rename

Change a player’s display name. Names must be unique within the tournament.

Delete

Permanently remove a player. Only available for players who don’t appear in the tournament log.

Multi-player actions

You can perform actions on multiple players at once. When an action supports it, a selection screen appears with checkboxes next to each eligible player. Use the “Select all” checkbox in the app bar to quickly select everyone.

Undo and redo

The Undo and Redo buttons appear in the top right of the app bar whenever actions can be reversed. Undo reverses the last player action (buy-in, knockout, etc.) and Redo restores it.

Player information

Each player tile shows:

• Player initials — Colored avatar
• Name — Player’s display name
• Status details — Finishing place, table and seat number, “Not seated” for bench players
• Bounty info — Bounty chip value and winnings (if bounties enabled)
• Financial summary — Total paid and chips received
• Elimination info — Chips eliminated from opponents
• Rebalance count — How many times the player has been moved for table balancing

Swipe to delete

Swipe left on any player tile to delete them (with confirmation). This is a shortcut for the Delete action in the player menu.
