TOURNEY JESTER
Tourney Jester is beginner-first poker tournament management: Jax helps build the structure, then you register players, draw seats, run the blind clock, and keep every table in sync. It never handles money — any payments stay with the organizer.

The basics
Start with the size of the room. Jax uses this to build the tables and structure.
Customize Your Event · six focused rooms
Build the sponsor inventory
Upload and tier each sponsor here. New sponsors stay off every display until you choose placements in the next room.
Choose where every logo appears
Select more than one surface for each sponsor, or leave every box clear to keep that logo in inventory only.
Champion placement requires the premium sponsor policy. Drag placement, visual treatments, and timed fly-ins need the upcoming versioned placement engine.
Keep operations separate from sponsor recognition
Operations workspace is being wired next
Vendor staffing, assignments, service requests, and future libations need their own permissions and operational records. This room is intentionally read-only until those contracts exist.
Registration
There is no remove button yet — the API has no player-delete endpoint. A mis-added player remains in the roster and tournament totals, so double-check the name before adding.
Run It
Seats not drawn yet.
Live Clock
Table Scorer Links
Give the phone at each table its own link below — whoever’s running the bust-outs at that table taps it once and they’re set for the whole night. No app, no login.
Staff & Links · owner only
Issue a scoped link for each role. It works with zero login on whatever phone/tablet/TV opens it — whoever holds it gets exactly that role’s controls, nothing more. The full link is shown ONCE, right after you issue it — copy it then, because it can’t be shown again.
Revoke All & Rotate kills every link issued so far (even ones marked LIVE above) and mints a fresh credential epoch — use it if a link leaked.
Registration · owner only
Pre-Registration Link
Share this before the event — players add themselves to the roster, not yet seated or counted toward the pool/payouts until they check in at the door.
CSV Import
Columns: name, email (optional), buyin_cents (optional). Every row is previewed before anything commits — pick which rows to accept, flagged rows never import.
Money & Prizes · owner/director
Track-Only Ledger
Every entry/rebuy/add-on/donation, logged for your own bookkeeping. Tourney Jester never touches this money — it never moves a cent, it just keeps score of what your organizer collected. A mistake isn’t deleted, it’s reversed (voided) so the trail stays honest.

Prize Table
Display-only -- what shows up next to each finishing place on the Big Board and champion screen ("1st: Trophy + $500"). Doesn’t change the payout math, just labels it.
No prizes added yet.
Payment Link · owner only
Point this at YOUR OWN payment account — a Stripe Payment Link, venmo:@yourhandle,
cashapp:$yourcashtag, or paypal.me/you. Tourney Jester only ever renders a
button to this link; it never sees or moves the money.
You are collecting money to YOUR OWN account here — not Tourney Jester’s. We never see it, hold it, or touch it.

What do these numbers mean?
Each level has two forced bets that grow over time to keep the game moving: the small blind and the . Later levels often add an — here, the big-blind player posts one extra bet for the whole table. Minutes is just how long that lasts before the step up again.
