So far, the record is 56. I'm interested in knowing what everyone's largest tournament is. Mine is only 17 Confused

On January 22nd we had a tournament of 79 with 84 rebuys. Software worked awesome! We even had the power cord to the PC pulled out not once but TWICE and the 60 second updates saved us! Whew!

Our previous tournament in October had 56 entries.

I was using the pre-V2 software and was compiling a list of enhancements, bugs, etc but since the release of version 2 I haven't had a chance to really go through it and but by reading the release notes most of them have been fixed or added.

Great job on the software! I look forward to checking out the new features.

A donation will be on the way next week!!! Thanks Jeff!

BTW. Dr. Neau does not advocate the use of his software for gambling purposes...

I direct tournaments and have used this software successfully with a 120 person tournament for a local club. Only flaw was after we paused to draw for the final table, I forgot to re-start the timer. Guess I can't blame the software for that . . .

Works great; use it on a Mac and love it. Thanks for all the enhancements.

We used the old version one time so far and had 53 people there.... worked good but caused some headaches as well, we were not sure we would use it again. It was GREAT for seeing the blinds and so on, but was a pain for moving people.............

We have another coming up in March that will be 48 people, we will be trying the new version, but I am having some problems setting it up. I have posted them in the "How to" section.....

I'll post after the tournament how it went.... Titan and I plan on sending a contribution once we know it works well and does what we need.

Have any of you sent something? What amount is average? 30.00? 50.00? More, less?

I'm a little like you....don't know what to send.......I'll say this much though........I've seen a couple of commercial programs that don't do a much as this and they were $60 to $70......I know there is some sort of pricing schedule in the works, but what it will be I don't know.....

How about a suggestion from the creator himself?????

That's like asking a dealer how much to tip...

Moving people around is MUCH easier in this one. I think you'll be very pleased.

My rule of thumb: When winning tip. When winning big, tip bigger. When loosing, tip even more!

Since pay pal is so easy, I've taken up paying in installments. Five bucks here, ten there... After my next tourney, I'll lay take some off the top to help pay for Jeff's great work! It's ony fair to let those that benefit from this program help defray the cost, no?
