TableMaster / One Eyed Jacks
What is left before One Eyed Jacks runs on RoomDirector
Every item between today and One Eyed Jacks running a tournament on RoomDirector from
registration to results, and what has closed since 18 September.
Updated 8 October 2026 · Sources: live issue tracker, production database, the 18 September edition
At a glance
The 26 September DirtyStack Poker Tour event at One Eyed Jacks ran on PokerAtlas, as
planned. The goal this page tracks is the next one: One Eyed Jacks running its own
tournaments on RoomDirector from start to finish, with cash games and the rest to follow.
Eleven items stand before the first tournament. Two are code. Nine
are room setup, equipment and proving, and most of those happen with One Eyed Jacks or
in its room.
One more item closed on 8 October. Players keep their points when
they sign up: staff can now join a player on the room's leaderboard to that player's
app account. That makes four items closed since 18 September, and one joined.
The one-second item is live on three of its four screens. Since
7 October a change at the desk shows on RoomDirector, the TVs and the dealer tablets
with no reload. The player app half is in a test build. The first timed runs, on
8 October, came close and did not pass.
The room is still almost empty in RoomDirector. One Eyed Jacks has 104
upcoming events in our system, and every one is a copy from PokerAtlas. Its 32 tables
were entered on 8 October. It has no templates, points style or payout curve. The
manager's invite of 5 September has not been used.

S1
The room's schedule moves into RoomDirector
Not started
All 104 upcoming One Eyed Jacks events are copies from PokerAtlas. RoomDirector lists only events a room created itself, so the room's staff would open an empty schedule. The fix is a switch that makes RoomDirector the room's one source, stops the PokerAtlas copy without deleting anything, and converts the upcoming events once.
NextTableMaster settles three questions about the switch, then builds it.
S2
Every change reaches every screen within one second
In progress
The live signal went into the database on 7 October, and RoomDirector, the TVs and the dealer tablets have used it since that day. A new player, a knockout, a seat move or a change to the blinds shows with no reload. Before, a TV could take 30 seconds, and the tournament page in RoomDirector changed only on a reload. The player app half is in a test build, version 1.29.0, and not in the stores. The first timed runs were on 8 October, in our demo room, on browser screens: RoomDirector showed a change in about 1.0 to 1.1 seconds and a dealer tablet in about 0.7 to 0.8. A TV began to change at about 0.7 to 0.8 seconds, and its rolling numbers, which take 0.9 seconds by design, settled at about 1.6 to 1.7. The phone was timed only in a test setup, and it was slower. None of this counts as a pass.
NextThe player app update goes to the stores. Then the timed test on real devices: RoomDirector, a dealer tablet, a TV and a phone, side by side, on video.

R1
Manager and staff accounts, tablet PINs and training
Not started
The manager's invite of 5 September has not been used, and its link has expired. No staff PIN is set. The invite email now names the room, and its link lasts 24 hours. An invite of the same kind was accepted by another room's manager on 2 October.
NextTableMaster sends the manager a new invite. Then accounts, PINs and training for the desk, the floor and the dealers.
R2
Tables, floor plan, structures, templates and weekly events
Started
The room's 32 tables were entered on 8 October, each with 8 seats, and one is marked for tournaments so far. No templates and no events of the room's own are entered. From 8 October to 28 November the room has 104 events on 51 days, one to three a day.
NextThe floor plan and the tables that take tournaments. The templates and the weekly events follow S1, which settles how the room's events come across.
R3
A points style and a payout curve for the room
Not chosen
One Eyed Jacks has neither set as a default. Without a payout curve, settlement cannot work out the prize ladder. Without a points style, a finished event awards no points. Six points styles and five payout curves are ready, and the room can enter its own.
NextOne Eyed Jacks chooses. Each is one setting once chosen.
Equipment in the room
4 items
E1
Display PCs for the TVs
Not installed
The pick changed on 24 September to the stick PC the room already runs for its PokerAtlas screens, at about $360 each in place of about $900. The room has two streams, so it needs two. The first stick passed all four checks on 25 September: a stream assigned, the clock showing, a network drop and a power cut. Windows on that stick is set so an update cannot restart a TV in the middle of a night. The display hardware page has the detail.
NextThe setup guide is rewritten from what the first stick taught. Then one stick for each stream, set up from the guide and installed in the room's AV room. On site, a check that the room's HDMI box passes the picture and the sound.
E2
A receipt printer at the desk
Not installed
RoomDirector now prints the entry ticket by itself when the desk registers a player. That was proven on 22 September on a network receipt printer, an Epson TM-T20IV. It has not been tested on the room's own desk computer. The room's logo for white paper is not uploaded.
NextA network receipt printer at the desk on a fixed address, the room's logo for paper, a full test on the desk computer with a first entry and a rebuy, and a short desk guide.
E3
Tablets for the tables that will use them
Not chosen
No tablet is paired at One Eyed Jacks.
NextWith One Eyed Jacks: which tables get a tablet. Then the tablets are bought and paired.
E4
The TVs checked on the room's own screens
Half done
The check on a real TV is done. The TV app ran for almost two days on a test PC with no fault, a scaling fault on 4K TVs was found and fixed, and the stick came back by itself after a power cut and a network drop. On 6 October the new final table screens were checked on a TV running the Windows app. Still to see: the rolling numbers and the break countdown while a clock runs on the stick.
NextTableMaster runs a clock on the stick. Then the same check on the room's screens, through its HDMI box, once E1 is installed.

P1
A rehearsal tournament in production
Not started
Every step clicked in the live system and every result checked, with RoomDirector, a dealer tablet, a TV and two phones running one event together. No tournament has been settled in RoomDirector outside the demo room. The rehearsal also covers the one thing the payout signing test could not: the notice when a player busts in the money while the event runs.
NextTableMaster runs it in the demo room.

Decisions to make
For TableMaster
S1 How the room's schedule moves over: who throws the switch, whether PokerAtlas stays on as a check for a while, and whether past results stay as they are.
S2 How the timed test treats a TV's rolling numbers. They take 0.9 seconds by design, and on 8 October they were kept as they are.
E1 Buying the display sticks for the room: one for each of its two streams, about $360 each.
The four multi-day questions, before the room's series move over. They are not among the eleven.
With One Eyed Jacks
R3 The points style for their race: one of the six named styles, or their own published table typed in.
R3 Their payout curve: how much of the field is paid, and the minimum prize for the last places.
R1 Whether staff ask each player for a phone number at the desk. A player's points join the app account by phone number, and 705 of the room's 709 leaderboard players have none on file.
E3 Which tables get a tablet.
P2 Dates for a dry run in the room.
Whether players sign for tournament payouts. It was built on 4 October, and the room turns it on by writing the words players agree to. It is not one of the eleven.
Since 18 September
Fourteen items stood before the first tournament on 18 September. Four closed and one
joined, which leaves eleven.
Closed
4 items
The Windows TV app. Shipped on 20 September. It starts by itself, restarts after a crash, comes back after a power cut, updates itself overnight, and downloads from the Devices page in RoomDirector.
Automatic ticket printing. Shipped on 22 September. A ticket prints when the desk registers a player or a rebuy, with a printer page, a test print, one retry, and a plain message when the printer is offline, out of paper or open. Each room sets what its ticket shows and sees it before it prints.
The code-signing certificate. No longer needed for launch. The TV app installs without one, past a single Windows warning.
S3, players keep their points when they sign up. Finished on 8 October. Staff add a phone number to a player's record. When an app account has confirmed that number, staff join the two, and a manager can undo it. The entry grid for an event's points shipped on 17 September and the review of corrections on 24 September. Four of the room's 709 leaderboard players are joined to an account so far.
Joined
1 item
S2, every change on every screen within one second. Set as a requirement on 25 September.
Also moved
The display PC. The pick moved from a $900 mini PC to the $360 stick the room already runs, and the first stick passed its four checks.
Registration. Late registration now closes when a level the room picks starts. Each room can switch automatic open and close on. Staff can reopen registration, and a manager can add a late player. Desk staff can now register players; before, only a room admin could at most rooms.
Live updates. Since 7 October a change at the desk shows on RoomDirector, the TVs and the dealer tablets with no reload, and a dealer tablet says whether its connection is live. This is the built half of S2.
The TVs. The desk can reload a stuck TV. The clock shows the ante on the blinds line, and a TV on the Windows app sounds one pip a second for the last ten seconds of a level. Since 6 October the clock has a new layout with the room's branding, and the final table screen uses the room's real tables and seats and shows the players' names. The fault that showed "final table" from level one was closed the same day.
The room's tables. All 32 were entered on 8 October.
Points. A correction is reviewed before it saves, each player's page says where every point came from, and the leaderboard lists names that may be the same player.
Staff invites. The invite email names the room, and its link lasts 24 hours. Since 3 October a link that was already used says so and offers Sign in.
Finding a player. Since 7 October staff find their own room's players by name. A full phone number also finds a player from another room, by name only, and the search goes on record.
Payout signatures. Players can sign for a tournament payout on a tablet. Built on 4 October. Each room writes its own wording before it takes a signature.

A new player, a knockout, a seat move or a blinds change shows on RoomDirector, the TVs and the dealer tablets with no reload. New on 7 October.
A floor view of every table. Drag a player to any open seat. A floor assistant says when to rebalance, which moves to make and which table to break.
The director runs the clock and the tables from a phone or tablet on the floor.
TVs pair with a code, and the desk chooses what each one shows. The clock screen shows the level, blinds, ante, next break, players left, average stack, prize pool and payouts.
The TV runs as a Windows app. It starts by itself, restarts after a crash, comes back after a power cut or a network drop, and updates itself overnight. New on 20 September.
A TV says on screen when its data stops updating, runs the same version as the desk preview, and can be reloaded from the desk.
A TV on the Windows app sounds one pip a second for the last ten seconds of a level. New on 21 September.
The clock carries the room's branding, and the final table screen shows the real seats and the players' names. New on 6 October.

Works today
Bust players from the desk, the floor view, a quick search or a dealer tablet, one at a time or several at once.
Settlement fills the finishing order from the busts and the payouts from the room's curve. Amounts can be edited, which covers a deal at the final table.
Finalize stays locked until every paid place has a player and an amount. One click then records cash and points for every place, and points never change later, even if the style changes.
"Enter Results" opens settlement, and an event ended too early can go back to running.
Results reach the room's leaderboard, the TVs, the kiosk, the website card and each player's profile.
Players sign for a tournament payout on a tablet, when they bust in the money or at settlement, in the locked, tamper-evident screen built first for high-hand awards. A signed payout cannot be changed, only made void with a reason. Run on a real tablet on 4 October, in our demo room. Not yet run at One Eyed Jacks.
For events run on other software, staff type a whole event's points into one grid.
A points correction is reviewed before it saves, and each player's page says where every point came from. New on 24 September.
A player's points follow the player. Staff join a record on the room's board to the player's app account by phone number, and a manager can undo it. New on 8 October.

Change every future event in a series at once.
Change the rake after play has started, a partner request.
A print station, so phones, tablets and the kiosk can print at the desk.
Kiosk check-ins that reach the desk. Today they stay in the kiosk's own list, tied to one event.
The Players page listing the room's imported players. Today it shows none of the 709. Found on 8 October and in progress. Staff reach them from the Leaderboard page meanwhile.
A size review of RoomDirector, and a size control for each user. New on 8 October.
The game
Telling two events apart on the TVs. One Eyed Jacks has up to three events a day. The designs are drawn.
The final table screen followed through a whole event. Since 6 October it uses the room's real tables and seats.
A second floor call from the same table within five minutes reaching the desk. Today it is dropped as a duplicate.
The desk saying when its live updates stop, as the TVs and the tablets now do.
Bringing the rest of the dealer tablet's shared code up to date. It changes nothing a table sees.
The players-left count on the app's event list, which does not drop after a bust. The live event page is right.
The end
A payout sheet that can list a place paying $0 when a small prize pool is spread over many places. It has not happened on a real event.
One Eyed Jacks staff going through the names that may be the same player. The list held 18 pairs on 24 September.
For the room's multi-day series
Events with flights, such as Day 1A, Day 1B and Day 2, under one prize pool. The design is written and waits on four decisions.
Bagging at the end of a day: each player's chip count, a bag ticket, ID and a signature.
A chip count for each player, which bagging needs. It was moved up on 7 October, and the first version is counts that staff enter in the money and at the final table.
A place in RoomDirector for a series and for special events, with standings across events. It starts with mockups and has four questions to settle.
At the table
Mark a player on penalty and show when they can come back.
Record a player giving up their chips to re-enter, without counting it as a bust.
Tell the dealer whether a player who has just moved can take the button or must post a blind.
How this was compiled
Drawn from the live issue tracker and the production database, both read on
8 October 2026. What works today carries over from the 18 September edition, with the
changes since then taken from the tracker. Every item is tracked except four that have
no issue of their own: the table tablets, the dry run in the room, the purchase of the
display sticks and the payout curve.
Counting rules. A step works when One Eyed Jacks can do it on
RoomDirector once the room is set up. It is partly there when it is built but has a gap
that affects the room, and not yet there when the room cannot do it today. The eleven
items are the two under "Software to build" and the nine under room setup, equipment
and proving. "Can follow" items are tracked but sit outside every figure on this page.
The timing figures. The one-second times are rounded readings from
screen recordings made on 8 October in our demo room, on browser versions of
RoomDirector, the TV and the dealer tablet. They are not a test on the room's
hardware.
A second view of the same work.One Eyed
Jacks: what is left lists the same work as small steps, tab by tab. It counts
steps where this page counts items, so its numbers are larger.
