Poker clocks/timers

[falser]

I'm interested in what you guys are using to keep track of your blind structures. I wasn't able to find any free ones that were any good and went ahead and wrote my own web-based one. If there's nothing like it out there I may get a domain set up for it. Mainly I'm interested in knowing what other software like this is out there (to compete with).

Along the lines of non-software clocks, these are cool little devices:

This one is used as a dealer button:

I use an older, free version of Tournament Director on my laptop. I may ask for one of the above devices for my birthday though.

I have used the free version of The Tournament Director for several years now, and it has been one of the most useful applications I have encountered. I have since transitioned to Dr. Neau's TD, albeit the restricted version (most tournaments we have are SnG's, for the bigger ones I use TDD).

However, I have used the newest version of The Tournament Director and have found it to be a lot more useful and easier than Dr. Neau.

As for the Poker Genie, I've heard it's a good hardware poker clock (best friend owns one for his tournaments at school). Can't vouch for it myself, but I'd say Dr. Neau and the Tournament Director are the two best free ones out there.

Thanks guys. I will have a look through some of these.

Here's what I've put together for my games:

It has a few tweaks that I wanted and none of the clocks I found had, like all the blinds listed in a table, and the background flashes and a sound beeps between levels. I think it works fairly well, and I'm wondering if it would be of use to others. I'd stick a google ad on it or something to recover hosting costs.

Tournament Director is an awesome program. And for $25 I think it's a bargain.

Another feature I use is web based. It's called StatsGenie and it tracks all my tournament results, downloaded from TD, and it takes care of the whole invite tracking. Another awesome peice of software that is still currently free

Now there is also a poker clock/tournament manager for mobile phones: http://www.mobilepokertournamentmanager.com

There is also some free timers for mobile phones (atleast for Windows mobile) like: Mobile Poker Timer

I use an old version of "DD Tournament Poker" which has a "Poker Night" module. I think I got it at Walmart in the cut-rate bin for like $5.

The screen shot of the one you developed looks good.

Good luck
