So, I'm trying to figure out what my options are.  I'm looking for something that will handle brackets, tournaments (singles, doubles, trios, team, baker, etc), just basically something that makes running tournaments easy.  I have only found Ebonite's Tournament Coordinator so far.  Looks like it's exactly what I need, but I also see that it's $400.  What are the other options?  I don't need anything to run leagues, just tournaments.  I wouldn't also mind having the ability to print out sidepots (high game) after each game, and to do eliminators.  Any suggestions are, as always, appreciated.  Thanks.

I think we've decided on Tournament Coordinator.  Anyone looking to possibly sell a used copy of this?  Can you do such a thing?  Also, how basic is this to get used to?  I downloaded the demo and it seems kind of vague so far, but I'm not sure if that's because it's the demo, or what.  Does it come with a pretty in depth manual that describes how to use the program?

Also, another thing we're looking at is a way that we can set a computer screen to show a 4 hour countdown that takes up a portion of the screen, then have a number showing on the other part of the screen.  We're looking to be able to hook up a USB keypad to where when we press a button, the number increases 1 number at a time, and also, we would need to be able to enter a starting number at the beginning of the night.  Any ideas?
