Everything PokClock includes to run a tournament from blind 25/50 to the final table, without juggling 5 tools.

3 modes: smart generator (computes from duration + level count), pre-built templates, or manual entry. Automatic rounding to poker-friendly values (25, 50, 100, 200, 500…), never odd blinds like 217 or 433 that don't match your chip stacks.
When you add a player, PokClock automatically fetches their Hendon Mob record and shows it on their profile. Best-effort: if the source is down, player creation still goes through.
