Rule Presets

A preset is a saved bundle of your house rules. Set your rules the way your club likes to play, save them as a preset, and apply that preset to any event to configure everything at once.

What a preset holds

A preset remembers all of these settings:

SettingWhat it controls
Faan capThe maximum faan for a hand
Rotation settingsHow players move between tables
Hands between rotationsHow many hands before a table rotates
Hand styleWhich scoring hands are recognized (Classic / New 6 / New 18)
Payment modeHow scores turn into payments
Scoring tableThe point values used
Show skill levelWhether players' skill levels are shown

For more on the rotation settings inside a preset, see Table rotation.

Managing presets

You can build a library of presets for the different ways your club plays:

  • Save a preset from your current rules.
  • Edit a preset when your house rules change.
  • Delete a preset you no longer use.
tip

Keep one preset for casual nights and another for competitive nights. Switching between them takes one tap.

Applying a preset to an event

Applying a preset sets all those rules for the event at once — no configuring them one by one.

When you apply a preset, TileBuddy marks it as the event's selected preset. That way you can always see which preset is active for the night.

Tweaking after you apply

A preset is a starting point, not a lock. After you apply one, you can still change any individual rule for that event.

note

Changing a rule on the event does not change your saved preset. Your preset stays as you saved it for next time.

Where to apply presets

You can apply a preset when you create an event, or later from the Rules panel in the host console.
