what do you guys use to run home tournaments

[Invigilator]

I have a registered version of Poker Tournament Hero and I love it.

custom and preset blind systems
antes if you want them
customizable...
-layout
-background graphics,
-blind increase alerts
-break and 2 minute warning alerts (you can set notes like "chip up #25's)
it also keeps track of number of players, payouts, rebuys, add-ons

blah blah blah,

It doesn't do the dishes or cook dinner, but it's nice.
