Players' phones

Every player has the clock in their pocket.

Players scan the QR code on the TV and the live poker timer opens on their phone. No app to download, no account, no login. Blinds, next level, players left and every knockout — right there at the bar, the bathroom line or the smoke break.

  • Scan once, follow the whole night
  • Knockouts pop up on every phone, not just the TV
  • Level warnings and a 15-second countdown — with a mute button
  • No TV at the venue? Run the night with the clock on everyone's phone
  • Installs to the home screen like an app — no app store

The TV board

A clock the whole bar can read — and hear.

Huge numbers, your bar's logo glowing behind the clock, and a board that changes color when it matters. Players left, average stack, next break and the last three knockouts are always on screen.

One minute left. The board turns gold with a warning banner, so nobody's surprised by the blinds.

Live games

Your games, broadcast as they happen.

Every tournament goes live on your league's website the moment you start the clock. Friends at home, regulars on their way over, players on a break — anyone can watch the blinds go up and the field shrink, knockout by knockout.

The tournament director is the phone in your pocket.

Walk the room instead of babysitting a laptop. Everything you'd do at the desk, you can do from your phone — and every tap updates the TV, the players' phones and the live page instantly.

  • Pause, add a minute, jump to the next level
  • Running clock or click-to-start levels — switch any time, even mid-game
  • Tap a player out and pick who knocked them out — it pops up big on the TV
  • Tells you when to break a table and where to move the players
  • Undo any knockout, even after the game — places fix themselves
  • Your phone vibrates at level warnings, so you never miss a blind change
Everything for league night

Built at real bar tables. Every week.

Really Good Poker Director grew up running weekly leagues across multiple bars — so it handles the stuff that actually happens on a league night.

Seating screen: players randomized across tables, with lock and drag-and-drop controls
Seating in one click. Randomize the whole field across your tables, lock a table, or drag players where you want them.

Players check themselves in

Before the game, players check in on their phone and pick their table. A 4-digit PIN protects their name, and check-in only works at the bar.

Tables, seats and late entry

Assign seats or just tables. Late entry closes after a number of minutes, at a level, or at a set time like 8:15 PM.

Your blind structures

Levels, antes and breaks laid out your way, with warning times and sounds you choose.

Undo anything

Added the wrong person? Knocked out the wrong player? One tap puts it right.

Your bar's colors and logo

Each league gets its own color, and its logo glows as a watermark behind the clock.

Bring your spreadsheet

Import your season's scores from Excel and pick up right where you left off.

Internet out? Use paper.

Keep score on paper and enter the results at home. Points and standings update automatically.

One roster, every bar

Players who play at more than one of your bars keep one name, one history.

Your formats, saved

Blind structures, starting stacks, clock style and check-in rules saved as formats for each night.

Leagues and seasons

Seasons that keep them coming back.

Results flow straight into each night's leaderboard and your season-long finals race. Players check their own spot any time — and the "Am I In?" page answers the question you get asked every week.

  • Points calculated the moment the game ends
  • Finals seats for weekly winners plus the top of the points board
  • Every night of the week added together into one finals race
  • Bonus chips at the finals for every win, and an alternates list for no-shows
Finals leaderboard: players ranked by total points across every night, marked Qualified or In on points

Questions from directors.

Can't find it here? Ask us.

Do players need to download an app?

No. Players scan the QR code on the TV and the live timer opens in their phone's browser. They can add it to their home screen if they like, but they never need an app store or an account.

What do I need at the bar?

A TV or laptop with a web browser for the clock, and your phone to run the game. That's it. If there's no TV, players can follow the clock on their own phones.

What happens if the internet goes down?

Keep score on paper and enter the results by hand when you're back online. Points, leaderboards and finals seats all update automatically.

Do I have to install anything or run a website?

No. Your league is hosted on our servers, including your public league site with standings and live games. We handle updates and backups.

Can I run leagues at more than one bar?

Yes. Each bar is its own league with its own nights, colors, logo, season and finals — and players share one roster across all of them.

Can I bring last season's results?

Yes. Import your existing scores from a spreadsheet and your leaderboards pick up where you left off.

Can you build something special for my tournament?

Yes. Custom formats, scoring, screens and integrations are built to order. Tell us what you need and we'll quote it.

Shuffle up and deal.

Your next league night can run itself — from the phone in your pocket.
