What is a poker tournament management app?

It is software for the person organising a live poker tournament. Shuffle Up and Deal! brings setup, blind structures, registration, seating, table balancing, the clock, payouts, player records and room displays into one app. It is not for playing poker: nobody plays hands or places bets in the app.

Can I use Shuffle Up and Deal! for home poker tournaments?

Yes. The free Home Game plan covers a complete poker night for up to 20 players across 2 tables. It includes the tournament builder, blind clock, smart seating, table balancing and payout calculator, and it keeps working without an internet connection.

Is Shuffle Up and Deal! free to use?

Yes. The free Home Game plan has no time limit and supports one tournament a week for up to 20 players across 2 tables. A free account is required. Paid plans add features such as rebuys, re-entries and late registration, leagues, big-screen casting, TURNER, cloud backups, larger events and more signed-in devices, with live share links, custom venue displays and financial reports on TD Pro and above.

Do I need to start a free trial to use the app?

No. You can keep using the free Home Game plan for as long as you like. If your game needs more, eligible accounts can try a paid plan free for 7 days, and we remind you 2 days before the trial ends so you can decide whether to keep it. You choose the plan inside the app, and the subscription is managed through the App Store or Google Play.

What devices do I need?

An iPhone, iPad or compatible Android phone or tablet. The app adapts to phones and tablets, with a swipeable tournament view on phones and a fuller dashboard on larger screens. On paid plans you can also put a room display on a TV or projector: AirPlay or a wired adapter from iPhone and iPad, or Chromecast, Samsung Smart View or a compatible USB-C to HDMI connection from Android. What works depends on your device and TV.

Do my players need the app?

No. Only the tournament director needs the app. Players can follow the room display, and on TD Pro and above, live share links let players, dealers and spectators view the clock, seating, field and standings in a browser without installing anything or creating an account.

Does the app include a poker tournament clock and blind timer?

Yes. The clock advances blind levels on schedule and counts down scheduled breaks. You can pause, adjust or skip levels at any time, and some moments, such as a chip race, can wait for you before play continues. On iPhone, the live level can also show on the lock screen and Dynamic Island. Voice announcements are available on paid plans.

Can Shuffle Up and Deal! balance poker tables automatically?

Yes. The seating engine handles the opening draw, late arrivals, table balancing, table breaks and an optional final-table redraw, and helps you seat waitlisted players as spots open. It explains proposed moves before you confirm them, while manual moves and undo remain available whenever the tournament director wants the final say.

Can I run multi-day tournaments with starting flights?

Yes, on the TD Elite and Card Room plans. Set up one event with as many Day 1 flights as you need, each run with the full tournament clock, seating and eliminations. When a flight ends you confirm who is through and record their chip counts, those players carry forward into Day 2, and entries from every flight combine into one prize pool and one final result.

Can I manage rebuys, re-entries, add-ons and late registration?

Yes, on every paid plan. Set the registration window, re-entry or rebuy limits and add-on rules during tournament setup. The app applies those settings, allocates new seats and keeps entries, chips in play, average stack and the prize pool up to date. Knockouts are recorded against the player who made them.

Does the app calculate poker tournament payouts?

Yes. Every buy-in, re-entry and add-on you record goes into a financial ledger. The app keeps fees separate, recalculates the prize pool as the field changes and supports custom payouts, plus guarantees, added cash and non-cash prizes on paid plans.

Is Shuffle Up and Deal! a gambling app?

No. Shuffle Up and Deal! is an organisational tool for tournament directors, like a scorekeeper and stopwatch for poker night. You cannot play poker in the app, place bets through it or move money with it. No real-money play, wagering or gaming of any kind happens in the app.

Does the app handle buy-ins, prize money or payments?

No money passes through the app. The financial ledger and payout calculator are record-keeping tools: they track figures the tournament director enters and calculate how a prize pool could be divided. The app never collects buy-ins, holds funds, processes payments or pays out winnings.

Can I run a poker league and leaderboard?

Yes, on every paid plan. Create leagues and seasons, choose a fixed or field-size-based points system and award points live as players are eliminated. Season and all-time leaderboards update automatically and can be exported as an image or PDF.

Can multiple tournament directors run one event together?

Yes, on paid plans, which allow from 2 to 15 signed-in devices depending on the plan. One person can manage registration while another handles table moves or eliminations, with every device kept in sync and destructive actions protected from staff collisions.

Can I cast the poker tournament clock to a television?

Yes, on every paid plan. From iPhone or iPad, use AirPlay or a wired adapter. From Android, use Chromecast, Samsung Smart View or a compatible USB-C to HDMI connection; the app includes step-by-step guides, and support varies by device and TV. The room display can show the clock, blinds, seating, registration, break countdowns, live statistics, table draws and elimination animations.

Does Shuffle Up and Deal! work without an internet connection?

Yes. The app is local-first, so the clock, seating, registration and payouts keep working in venues with poor or no internet. Changes sync when a connection becomes available again, and paid plans add automatic cloud backups.

How is this different from a basic poker tournament clock app?

A basic clock app shows the time and blind level. Shuffle Up and Deal! helps you run the whole tournament, including setup, registration, seating, balancing, table breaks, payouts and player histories, with league standings, external displays, live share links and tournament director tools on paid plans.

What is TURNER?

TURNER is the built-in AI assistant for tournament directors, included on every paid plan. It answers rules questions with tappable citations from the official TDA rules, walks through disputes step by step and can follow captured house rules. It provides guidance, but the tournament director's ruling remains final.

Is my tournament and player data safe?

Tournaments live on the device first, with cloud backup and cross-device sync on paid plans, plus manual backup files you can export and keep. Player, venue and league names are replaced with anonymous tokens before an AI request leaves the device, so real names are not sent to the AI service.

How do I cancel a subscription?

Subscriptions are managed through the store you subscribed with. Cancel from your Apple account subscriptions on iPhone or iPad, or from Google Play on Android. You keep the free Home Game plan afterwards.

What is on the roadmap?

The app receives regular updates shaped by feedback from working tournament directors, and the public roadmap lists what is planned, such as a dedicated player app and guest self-registration. The in-app contact form goes directly to the team building it, and many current features began as requests from tournament directors.
