Create-a-Blind

Open these pdf files and type in your own blinds schedule, payout percentage, starting chips, and poker chip colors and values. Print this customizable poker tournament blinds schedule on your color ink-jet or color laser printer and hang it on the wall in sight of your poker table. No more "What are the green chips worth?" or "What's the next blinds level?" questions!

You can customize the poster by replacing the Hand Rank chart and the section below that with your own name and up to ten lines of personalized information. The schedule on the right is the same blank schedule, but with personalized data entered into it. You can include the buyin, date, address, and other information that your players might need to know. You can even use this blinds schedule as a 'flyer' to send to your players to announce your tournament!

You may enter any blinds schedule that you would like to use. Fifteen levels of blinds can be entered, and will be shown. Leave the bottom levels blank (or place other information there) if you do not need to use all the levels for your blinds schedule. You can enter your payout percentages or amounts, starting poker chip distribution, and your poker chip colors and denominations.

I offer three different versions of these blinds schedules - a blank schedule, a HomePokerTourney T1,000 schedule, and a HomePokerTourney T10,000 schedule. They are available in 8� x 11 inch or 8� x 14 inch versions with varying amounts of chip colors.

Use the (free) Adobe Reader in standalone mode (not in your web browser!) to alter and save these blinds schedules. You cannot edit them within your browser window - save them to a file on your computer and then open them using the Adobe Reader. Use the Adobe Reader, not some other pdf reader. In addition, only the latest versions of the Adobe Reader will allow you to alter and save pdf files - older versions of the Adobe Reader will not allow you to save these blinds schedules. Let me repeat that once again ... save the blinds schedule to the hard disk on your computer and then use a newer version of the Adobe Reader to alter and save these blinds schedules. Do not try to use them from your internet browser's window, do not use any reader other than the Adobe Reader, and use a newer version of the Adobe Reader.

Your first five chip colors will automatically appear in the Starting Chips area. You cannot alter this.

Why do you write the name of the poker chip color with the value?

Writing the name of the color helps people who are color blind.

Will the red "CHIP" icons at the bottom of the page be printed?

No. The red icons that allow you to change chip colors will not be printed.

Can I travel with your Create-a-Blind schedules?

Each Create-a-Blind is about 250kb in size meaning that you fit about four schedules on one floppy disk. You can put several blinds schedules on a floppy disk and carry them with you to any poker tournament. You can create a blinds schedule in a couple minutes and then print it out on a color computer printer. These Adobe Acrobat files will open on almost any computer (Windows, Mac, Unix) that has the free Adobe Acrobat Reader installed.

Does HomePokerTourney still make customized blinds schedules?

I have made numerous personalized blinds schedules available on my Blinds Posters page. With the introduction of the Create-a-Blind schedules - there is no longer a need for HomePokerTourney to create personalized schedules, you can now customize them on your own! I will consider special requests to make customized blinds schedules, especially for charity events, but in general, I will not make any more customized blinds schedules available.

Will you make more Create-a-Blinds available?

Yes. The WSOP and Heads-up schedules will soon be made available in Create-a-Blind format.

Why do you make these Create-a-Blinds available for download?

Purely out of love for you, my fellow poker players! The HomePokerTourney advertising at the bottom of the page is meaningless, it is there because I had extra space to cover. Please do not remove it! Please speak highly of my website when your invited guests ask you where you got those nifty poker tournament blinds schedules!

What is the Adobe Reader?

The Adobe Acrobat Reader is free software that allows documents to be printed on many different types of computer systems (Windows, Mac, Linux). The documents will print exactly the same no matter what computer system and printer you use. The Adobe Reader has become the de-facto standard for printing and sharing documents and should already be installed on your computer. There is no spyware included with the free Abode Reader.

These blinds posters are in Adobe PDF format. They may be viewed, saved, shared or printed using the free Adobe Reader version 7 or higher. The Adobe Reader should already be installed on your computer but you can download it for free if you must. If these documents do not open properly on your computer, it is because you are using an outdated version of the Adobe Reader.
