Tournament Settings Reference

What every field on the creation form actually controls.

  • Tournament name / Game type — display only, no effect on logic.
  • Date & start time / Place-venue — Regular tournaments only; a Multi-day tournament sets these per flight instead.
  • Currency — controls the symbol shown everywhere a dollar amount appears.
  • Entry cost / Rebuy cost — entry cost seeds the prize-pool formula's buy-in figure.
  • Max players — a hard cap on registration; blank means unlimited.
  • Late reg (minutes after start) — a display-only label today, not an enforced cutoff.
  • Seats per table / Min players per table — drive automatic seat assignment and Randomize Seating's table count.
  • No open seat at late reg (overflow policy) — ask each time, auto-open a table, or auto-waitlist once the clock has started and every table is full.
  • Starting stack / Blind structure — copied onto the tournament (or, for Multi-day, onto the Flights stage) at creation; editing the saved template afterward never changes a tournament that already copied it.
  • Staff — the roster members assigned onto this specific tournament.
