Question 1

Is this poker tournament clock free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely, and there is no account. It runs entirely in your browser, there are no ads, no signup wall and no saved-structure limit — the things that make most free blind timers annoying to use on the night. Nothing you enter is uploaded anywhere.

Question 2

What happens if I refresh the page or my phone locks mid-tournament?

Accepted Answer

The tournament carries on. The clock stores its state on your device and works out the time from the actual wall clock rather than counting down, so a tab that was asleep for twenty minutes wakes up on the correct level with the correct time remaining. Closing the tab and reopening it later picks up where you were.

Question 3

Can I use my own blind structure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Open Setup & structure to change the level length, add or remove breaks, and click any level to jump to it. If you want a structure designed to finish at a particular time, build one in our blind structure calculator first and open it here. You can also copy a share link that carries the whole structure, so a co-host can open the identical setup with no account.

Question 4

Does it work offline?

Accepted Answer

Once the page has loaded, yes. Nothing on this page calls the network — the countdown, the blind schedule, the prize pool and the chime are all computed on your device. That matters for a home game in a basement or a garden with poor signal.

Question 5

What does the average stack in big blinds tell me?

Accepted Answer

It is the total chips in play divided by the players left, expressed in current big blinds — the single best measure of whether your structure is still playable. Above roughly 30 big blinds there is room to play poker; below about 15 the game turns into push-or-fold. If you hit that point long before you wanted the game to end, use longer levels or a slower blind structure next time.

Question 6

Can I put it on a TV?

Accepted Answer

Yes — press the full-screen button, or the F key, and the countdown scales to fill the screen so it is readable across a room. Space bar starts and pauses, and the arrow keys move between levels, so you can run the whole tournament from a laptop next to the table without aiming at small buttons.
