Once you've registered for an event in the Aces Poker Run app, your hand(s) are accessible through the Your Events tab. From here, you can view your cards, participate in the event, check your leaderboard rank, and even manage or transfer hands to others.


📍 Where to Find It

Your Events > Select Active Event

This opens your live event dashboard.


🧾 What You’ll See

  • Event Details: Name, date/time, and hand distribution method

  • My QR Code: Used for scanning at trackers, stop verification, or hand transfers

  • Scan QR Code for Next Card: Only shown for QR scan events

  • Leaderboard: View real-time rankings

  • Your Hands: Displays your card progress (face-down until dealt)

  • Manage Hands: Rename or transfer hands

  • Buy Hands, Cards, and Other Items: Purchase add-ons, extra hands, or merchandise

  • Event Stops: List of stops with arrival/departure times and status checkmarks


📲 Using Your QR Code

Tap My QR Code to reveal your User Check-In QR.

This code can be scanned by:

  • 📱 Event managers (to assign or confirm hands)

  • ✅ Trackers (for check-ins or validations)

  • 🙋 Friends (to receive a transferred hand from you)


🃏 Getting Your Cards

Cards are dealt differently depending on your event type:

Event Type

How Cards Are Dealt

QR Code Scan

Tap Scan QR Code for Next Card and scan the posted code at each stop

Scheduled Time

Cards are dealt automatically at the stop’s arrival time

GPS Release

Cards are dealt when you physically arrive at the stop

If your event uses QR codes:

Tap Scan QR Code for Next Card, then either:

  • Use your camera to scan the code

  • Or enter the stop’s check-in code manually


🧾 Viewing Event Stops

Each stop includes:

  • Name of the location

  • Arrival and departure time window

  • ✅ Green check mark if you’ve completed that stop

  • 🟢 Hollow circle if it’s still pending

Tap Expand All to open stop details for all stops at once.


👑 Checking the Leaderboard

Tap View Leaderboard to see live rankings.

  • See participant names and hand strengths

  • Your hand is shown alongside others if fully dealt

  • Tap “Only show my hands” to filter down to your entries (if available)


✋ Managing Your Hands

Tap Manage Hands to:

  • Rename your hand (great for tracking multiple hands or family members)

  • Transfer your hand to someone else

🔄 How to Transfer a Hand

Two delivery options:

✅ QR Code Transfer (in person)

  • Tap Transfer Hand

  • Select QR Code

  • Scan the recipient's User QR Code

✉️ Mobile Delivery (remote)

  • Tap Transfer Hand

  • Select Mobile Delivery

  • Enter the recipient’s name

  • Tap Share to launch your phone's share options (e.g., text, AirDrop, email)


💰 Buying More Items

Tap Buy Hands, Cards, and Other Items to:

  • Purchase extra hands

  • Add an extra card to an existing hand (if allowed and before the third card is dealt)

  • Buy event merchandise, donations, or add-ons like dinners or shirts

Only items configured by the organizer will appear here.


🧠 Tips & Best Practices

  • Cards won’t be revealed until the event officially starts

  • Extra cards can only be purchased until your third card is dealt

  • QR code scanning is the fastest and most reliable way to interact with events

  • Use the leaderboard to track your ranking as more participants get their cards
