  New 
  Functionality
    
    New Bounty wizard to either automatically assign a 
    bounty to all players, or to prompt you when entering players if you would 
    like an automatic bounty added.  
    (Deluxe only)
    New Point Formula wizard to give you the flexibility, 
    in addition to having points paid out for winners, to also have points 
    awarded to all players automatically for participating, and to have points 
    awarded by a formula based on the number of players awarded in reverse 
    order. (Deluxe only)
    The new “Reminders Wizard” lets you set reminders 
    during your tournament.  Choose 
    from preset reminders like “Change Card Decks” or enter your own custom 
    reminders.  You can have the 
    game pause until you OK the reminder or have it continue and just remind 
    you.
    Added more customizable word editing features to the 
    Rules and Custom Message.  You 
    can now set text to any font, and any font size within the text itself, set 
    to Bold, Italic, Underline and control the alignment of the text for better 
    reading.
    Added handy new Hand Timer with a hot key so you can 
    put a player taking too long on a timer to complete the hand.  The default number of minutes is 
    customizable.
    2 new sound options with added ability to set custom 
    sound at start of a break to better notify players when breaks are starting 
    (or you can keep the same notification as a level change as in previous 
    versions), and new custom sound for when a player has to rebuy (have some 
    fun with this one!)
    Use the optional new Toolbar in the tournament window 
    for commonly used functions like starting and stopping the clock.  You can also drag the toolbar to any 
    location on the screen to your preference.

  Features added in Version 4.0 
			 We receive feedback from our customers with great ideas to make Poker 
				Tournament Manager even better.  We listened, and have added the 
				following new features that were most requested. 
				
				PTM is now much more customizable.  You can change the font, fore-color, 
				back-color, and size of nearly all items displayed on the screens, to 
				personalize PTM for your game.
				
				PTM now keeps track of who knocks out who!  So you can see who eliminated 
				the most players during a game, or over time by viewing stats.  This new 
				field is available in the web results posting area as well.
				
				Added a new rotating screen to display kills and elimination chart.
				
				New button to "chop" the pot for remaining players.
				
				Added ability to have the rotating screens adjust based on where you are at in 
				the tourney.  So that pre-tourney you can rotate the Buyin Details 
				screen and the players registering screen, then during play you can show the 
				elimination screen, and then after the tourney you can show the payouts screen.
				
				New export to allow a printable sign-in sheet.
				
				Added 2 new formatted summary screen views.
				
				There is now a menu for skipping a level or skipping a break - jump right to

				announcements or to invite to upcoming tournaments.
