My WMWare was so screwed that spent couple of evenings before got it running. Got some progress with this one, initial features would be the following. Not all implemented yet though.

* Few different blind / ante structures (suggestions needed for good home game structures...)
* Adjustable level length
* Alert tone when moving to next level
* Configurable backlight, e.g. light up screen every 5 minutes + when level changes
* Pause running tournament
* Tournament screen contains minutes left on current level and blinds+ante for current and next level.

New ideas are welcome, I've got some also...

* Blind structures loaded from XML files, makes adding new structures easy (currently hardcoded)
* Saving tournament to be continued later
* Player information and tournament statistics
* User configurable audio, e.g. "Shuffle up and deal!" when tournament starts and "The price of poker is going up" by Mike Sexton when blinds increase. For latter it would be nice to have multiple audio tracks which would be randomized. I don't want to put this kind of stuff inside the package because of copyright issues.
* Some other which I can't remember...
