Understanding Breaks

I would like a 5 minute break after every hour of play. Would this do it?
Break sync - Yes
Break Interval - 0
Break Time - 5

Does that sync the break for all tables after current hand finishes or will tables be on break at different times?
Does it just break even if it is in the middle of a hand?

Thanks. Loving the Software!!

Yes, this will run a 5-minute break at the top of every hour. It's more traditional to do it at :55 past the hour (Break interval = 55) because tournaments tend to start at the top of the hour. And thus players who play multiple tournaments would be starting one tournament while going on break at the other.

The break clock starts when the last table completes the current hand.

I'm a little slow here Kent, still not getting it.

How would I schedule it to give a break after every three blind intervals (that are 12 minutes each), so essentially a break every 36 minutes? (Lotta older guys who drink too much). ;)

Also, we start at 730pm (not sure if that makes a difference).

Thx Kent!

Beginning with version 6.16, Set "Break Sync" to No and "Break Interval" to 3.

Would it be possible to have a menu option to pause tournament like the start tournament option perhaps with a passcode like start tournament has?

You can post that in the Wish List section.
