Each stop in your Aces Poker Run event is a location participants will visit during your event. Stops may or may not distribute cards, depending on your event setup.

✍️ Stop Setup Fields
Field | Description |
Stop Location | Start typing an address or venue name. Aces will auto-complete based on your input. (Required) |
Label | Optional nickname for the stop (e.g., “Start Line – Marina Dock”). |
Begin Time | The time the stop opens. Participants cannot receive cards before this time. (Required) |
End Time | The time the stop closes. Cards won’t be dealt after this time. (Required) |
Begin Date / End Date | Appears if your event is marked as multi-day; otherwise, the event’s default date applies automatically. |
Cards Dealt at This Stop | Choose how many cards are distributed here — including 0 cards if you want the stop for check-ins, activities, or tracking only. Most runs use 1 card per stop. |
Additional Information | Optional instructions or notes for participants (e.g., “Look for our tent near the dock entrance”). Max 500 characters. |
🧭 Card Distribution Rules for Events with More Stops than Cards
You can add as many stops as you want as long as all the cards you set for the event are distributed.
If your event has more stops than cards and you want cards given out at stops until all cards are dealt:
Example: A 10-card event with 20 stops → Participants get a card at the first 10 stops they visit; any stops visited after they’ve received all 10 cards will be recorded as visited but no additional cards will be given.
If you want participants to be able to get a card at any stop, even when there are more stops than total cards, contact us to help configure this special setup.
🧭 Tips for Stop Setup
➕ Add multiple stops by repeating the process above.
🔄 Use Reorder Stops if needed.
⚠️ Ensure Begin Time is before End Time — validation will prevent saving otherwise.
📅 For multi-day events, stop dates must align with the event date range.
💾 Saving Your Stop
Click Save to finalize your stop and return to the stop list.
Click Cancel to discard changes and return without saving.
