Final Table vs Home Poker System
Both are web apps for running a home poker league: schedule games, collect RSVPs, record results and keep standings. Home Poker System also gives the league a website with news, plus forums and a photo gallery on its paid plan. Final Table also runs the night itself: the blind clock, a TV display, rebuys and payouts.

What is Home Poker System?
Home Poker System is an online poker league manager. You schedule games, send invites with RSVPs, post news, view player stats, set your own points and payouts, and export results.[1]
Home Poker System fits if
- You want a league website with news posts, forums, a photo gallery and your own pages.
- Your league has 19 to 25 players and you want to stay on a free plan.
- Your league plays for a currency other than US dollars.
- You mainly need results, standings and player stats recorded after each game.
Final Table fits if
- You want game night run from a phone: blind clock, check-in, rebuys, knockouts and payouts.
- You want the clock on a TV without logging in on the TV.
- Your players should RSVP from an email with one tap, no account, with automatic reminders.
- You want standings rules beyond dropping low scores, like a minimum number of games or championship qualifiers, or a seat draw for nights with 2+ tables.

Where Final Table is different
It runs the game, not just the results
Final Table has a blind clock with levels, breaks and color-ups that you control from your phone, and it shows the prize pool as rebuys and add-ons come in. Open /tv on any TV browser and pair it with a code to put the clock on the big screen.
RSVPs without an account
Players get an email and answer with one tap, without logging in. Reminders go out automatically, and each player can add a calendar feed of the league's games.
Payouts and bounties worked out for you
Final Table works out each payout from the prize pool, including rebuys, add-ons and ICM or chip-chop deals, and tracks knockout bounties, standard or progressive, as their own pot.
More standings rules for long seasons[7]
Home Poker System can drop a set number of each player's lowest scores in a season. On Final Table's League plan you can count only a player's best N games or drop their worst N, and also require a minimum number of games and mark championship qualifiers. Seat draw and table balancing are on that plan too.
No ads on the free plan[11]
Home Poker System's free plan shows ads. Final Table shows no ads on any plan.
Rivals and badges
Every player gets head-to-head records against the rest of the league and badges earned from their history, on the free plan.
