BIS Pool Tournament Machine
Your room. Your format.
One director account and one credit balance for every tournament.
Chip tournaments
Give each player starting chips. Play one game at a time: the winner stays, the loser loses a chip and returns to the queue. At zero chips they are out. The last player wins.
No back-to-back opponents unless only two players remain. Spare tables close as the field shrinks.
Single elimination
Players advance through a randomly seeded bracket. One loss eliminates a player from the championship. Byes advance automatically.
Choose a race length and save each match’s final score. The system assigns the next ready match to a table.
Double elimination
A first loss moves a player to the losers bracket. A second loss eliminates them. The winners- and losers-bracket champions meet in the grand final.
If the undefeated finalist loses, a reset match decides the champion. Everyone must lose twice to be eliminated from the title.
Set up, confirm, play
Choose your format
Name the tournament and tables. Add player names. Only the director needs an account; players remain local to that event.
Plan the prizes
Enter the entry fee and admin fee in USD per player, then choose how many players get paid. The admin fee is included in the entry fee and retained by the director. Totals update with your roster. Set all fees and paid places to zero for a free event.
Bracket ties that affect prizes trigger placement playoffs, so exactly the selected number of players gets paid. The director collects fees and distributes the prizes.
Confirm the start
Setup is free. Starting any format uses one tournament credit or your active unlimited subscription. Players are randomly seeded and setup locks.
Save results
For Chips, tap Won. For elimination matches, enter the final score. The suite handles advancement, table assignments and finishing places. The board updates after a save; Refresh picks up changes from another screen.
