Host Console

The host console is the live dashboard you run your game night from. It updates in real time as players check in and hands are recorded, so what you see always matches what's happening in the room.

Console header

The header shows the event name, share code, and quick-action buttons. The Auto-seat toggle lives here — flip it on to drop new check-ins straight into open seats, or off to hold them on the waitlist. On small screens, some header actions collapse into a ⋯ menu to keep the layout tidy.

Waitlist

The pool of players who've checked in but aren't seated yet. Drag a player from here into an open seat. See Seating and the waitlist.

Table cards

Each card shows a table's four seats and their winds, who is sitting in each seat, how many hands that table has played, and a rotation due flag when it's time to move players. See Table rotation and Manual seat operations.

Hands

The recent results at your tables. Each hand carries a status:

  • Pending — recorded, waiting to be confirmed.
  • Confirmed — agreed and settled.
  • Disputed — a player flagged a problem.
  • Overridden — you corrected it.

To fix a result, see Corrections.

Activity log

A running list of check-ins, seatings, benches, rotations, and swaps. It's your record of the night if anyone asks what happened and when.

Rules

View or edit the event's rules on the fly, or apply a preset to reset them all at once.

Email & broadcasts

Send an announcement to everyone attending, such as "last hand in 10 minutes."

caution

Broadcasts are capped at three per day, so save them for messages that matter.

Helping run someone else's event

When you're helping run an event you don't own, a co-host badge appears in the console. It's a reminder that you're assisting, not the owner. See Co-hosts.

tip

Keep the console open on a tablet at your host table. Because it updates live, you'll always see the current state of every table at a glance.
