This site tracks a recurring poker group across blocks - a block is a season, usually a few months long. Each block has weekly games, and everyone earns points based on where they finish. At the end of the block, the top players qualify for a Final Tournament. No points are awarded during the Final Tournament.

By default, nobody except staff (Tournament Directors, Admins, or Game Admins) needs to log in - everyone else just browses the site to check standings and stats. Some leagues turn on Player Logins, which lets every player log in too and keep a profile - see "Logging in as a player" below if that applies here.

Every weekly game has a points table by finish place (1st gets the most, and so on). Anyone who finishes outside that list still gets a flat "standard points" amount, so nobody scores zero just for playing.

Your finish place is just the number of players still in the game at the moment you're knocked out - so 1st place is whoever's left when everyone else is out.

Rebuys and chip-ups are tracked as simple counts for the game - they don't change your points.

Standings shows the current block's leaderboard, ranked by total points. You can switch to an all-time view, or look at a previous block from Block History. Click any column header to sort by it - click it again to flip the direction.

The All/League/Guests filter above the table switches the data being viewed - for example, switching to League would show the League-specific ranking and stats, which would not factor in any Guest's involvement.

Players lists everyone in the league - search by name, or sort by points, average finish, games played, top-10s, or 1st-place finishes. If Player Logins is on and the profile picture field is enabled and visible to you, players who've uploaded one show it right in this list, next to their name. Click a player to see their full page, including profile info at the top if that's enabled.

A player's own page groups everything into sections you open as needed - the current block's numbers, League Stats (league members only), and All Stats (all-time) - each with rank, total points, times played, best finish, average finish, top-10 finishes, and 1st-place finishes. If they've ever played in a Final Tournament, a separate "Final Tournaments" section shows that history too. If Player Logins is on and they've filled in profile details, those show at the top of the page too - whichever ones are turned on and visible to you.

Any game currently active shows right at the top of the Games page as a tappable card. Below that is Game History - every other game in the current block, in a collapsed, searchable list (search by name or date) that opens on its own once there's no active game left to show.

Open a game to see who's still in and who's already finished (and in what place). Still In and Finished each have their own All/League/Guests count and filter, plus a CSV/PDF export that follows whichever of those three is active - all of that works without logging in. On a regular (non-final) game, an expandable row underneath - collapsed by default - holds two more rows of filter chips, one for rebuys and one for add-ons, each named after your labels for them, that narrow the list further and combine with All/League/Guests and each other.

By default anyone can view games without logging in - only staff (Tournament Directors, Admins, and Game Admins) can create or edit them, and a Game Admin only for the current block's still-active games. If this league restricts viewing to logged-in members or staff, see "Logging in as a player" below.

To see games from a past block, go to Block History and use the "Games" link next to that block - it opens the same Games page, just scoped to that block's games instead of the current one.

Only the top players in the current block's standings qualify (the TD sets how many). It's still just the block's last game, but with different rules: no rebuys or chip-ups, and everyone starts with a set number of chips instead of playing for league points.

Your starting chips come from however this block allocates them - either a set amount per rank, or your season points multiplied by a set number - plus any bonus chips the league has turned on for things like 1st-place finishes, top-10s, or attendance. If the league has turned it on, you can see the current projected (or, once the final is created, locked-in) chip counts for the top qualifying players right on the Standings page.

Your finish place in the final is tracked for your stats, but it doesn't add or subtract league points - by that point in the block, the points race is already over.

Some leagues turn this on, some don't - ask a Tournament Director if you're not sure whether it applies here.

If it's on, you can log in with the username or email a Tournament Director set up for you, using a password or PIN depending on how this league is set up. Once you're logged in, look for the profile icon near Log out to reach My Profile. Open the Change password/PIN link there to update it (it stays open automatically if you're required to set a new one), and fill in whichever of these optional details this league has turned on:

• Real name
• Bio
• Profile picture
• Location
• Phone
• Birthday
• Favorite hand
• Signature tell

Nothing shows up on your profile that hasn't specifically been turned on, and each detail has its own visibility - some things might only be visible to other logged-in members or staff, not the whole internet. A profile picture, if that's enabled, is a straight upload from My Profile - tap the small edit button on your avatar to pick a new one.

My Profile also links out to your own page on Players (if you're allowed to see it), and that page links back with an "Edit my profile" button.

If this league has also restricted Standings, Games, or Players to logged-in members (or staff) only, you'll see a login prompt instead of that page's normal content until you log in.
