POKER TOURNAMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A Poker Tournament Management System (TMS) is disclosed for providing an audiovisual presentation (100) to tournament administrators and participants, wherein a plurality of tournament parameters (102, 104, 106, 108, 110, 112, 114, 116, 118) are displayed and incremented according to a predetermined or user-defined schedule. Various chapters of the presentation (100) that correspond to a level of play are preferably of the same length and each chapter may include an audio and/or visual alert to signal the beginning/end of each chapter, as appropriate. Thus, tournament players and administrators may be apprised of a change in tournament level without constantly scanning the display. The TMS may be authored by sequentially recording portable network graphics or the like to a computer-readable medium such that the medium controls the display of tournament time, and not a clock of a computer system or the like.
