Load Configuration is used to choose the desired blind levels before the tournament starts. There are four session sessions to choose from: APL_Dual_Short starting with 15 minute blinds (but shorter after the first break), APL_Dual_Long also starting with 15 minute blinds (but lasting to level 8), and APL_Single starting with 20 minute blinds. Timer_Testing is provided with very short blinds specifically for quickly testing and practicing a pseudo session scenario. The dual short session is recommended if starting with three or more tables. Selecting any of these will then display the estimated time to the start of the final blind level.

The session can be started with the Start Tournament button. Or you can use the Countdown TOD button and the Start TOD list box to start the session at the next hour on the clock or a selected start time. In this case the tournament will start with the countdown timer paused.

The End Tournament button will simply stop the clocks and display a message that the tournament has ended. Use Reset Tournament to set everything back to the beginning of a new tournament.

The Previous Level and Next Level buttons will manually go back or advance the current level. Go To Level is a list box that allows selection of a specific level. These also pause the countdown clock. These may be useful if the tournament has been interrupted or the clock needs to be restarted at a specific level due to a computer or other error.

Pop Up Window will open a second status display area in a new window. The status display area shows the current time of day, the time remaining on the countdown clock, the current blinds, the next blinds, and tournament messages as appropriate. The purpose of a second window is for when there is a second monitor or TV screen available. If the computer display has been set for extended display mode, this second window may be dragged to this second monitor. This is very useful if this second monitor can be seen from most or all the player tables. This new window open as a new tab under some browsers.
