Each stop in your Aces Poker Run event is a location where participants will go during your event to typically receive a playing card. Here's how to create and configure a stop during your event setup.


📍 Where to Find It

  1. Navigate to Manage Events

  2. Select your event

  3. Click the pencil icon next to “Event Stops”

  4. To create a new stop, click “Add New Stop”
    To edit an existing stop, click the ellipsis (⋯) next to the stop and choose Edit


✍️ 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 (e.g., 8:00 AM). Participants can’t receive cards before this. (Required)

End Time

The time the stop closes (e.g., 9:00 AM). Cards won’t be dealt after this. (Required)

Begin Date / End Date

These will appear if your event is marked as multi-day. Otherwise, the event’s default date will apply automatically.

Cards Dealt at This Stop

Choose how many cards are distributed here. Most runs use 1 per stop.

Additional Information

Optional instructions or notes for participants (e.g., “Look for our tent near the dock entrance”). Max 500 characters.


🧭 Tips for Stop Setup

  • ➕ You can add multiple stops — just repeat this process.

  • 🔄 Use the Reorder Stops option 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.

  • Use “Cancel” to discard changes and return without saving.


👀 Example Setup

Stop Location: Art & Jake’s Sports Bar
Label: Stop 1 – Check-in
Begin Time: 8:00 AM
End Time: 9:00 AM
Cards Dealt: 1
Notes: “Check-in and grab your wristbands at the patio tent.”
