Just thought of this this morning.

v3 will have a "Tournament Component Manager".

With this, you'll be able to create and manage tournament components outside the context of a tournament. Each type of component will be stored in its own file in the repository and automatically loaded upon startup.

Components types will include:
- Betting Schedule
- Chip Case
- Payout Schedule
- Floor
- Checklist
- Ranking Method

From a usability point of view, each screen (along with the screens for the parts of the Console Component Manager) will have the exact same layout and logic:
- On the left side: The list of available selections in table form. Column 1: Name. Column 2: Filename
- Underneath the table, buttons for "New", "Copy", "Delete", "Design", "Rename" and "Move".
- On the right side, some sort of preview for the component.

So, when creating a new tournament, you'll be able to select which components to use very easily.

Me excited.
