History of DrNTM
1983 - Dr. Neau gets an Apple IIe for Christmas. He and 'The Eradicator' begin work on their first application: D&N's Dungeons and Dragons Assistant
1992 - Dr. Neau gets his degree in Computer Science and goes to work for Cray Research.
1996 - Dr. Neau writes his first Java application - A sports 'Magic Number' calculator.
1999 - Dr. Neau gets his Masters in Software Engineering
2004 - (January) Dr. Neau and The Eradicator host their first tournament. It was a logistical disaster. Work begins on something to help.
2004 - (February) Dr. Neau creates and uses his first blind timer...just a timer with sounds. Several Excel-spreadsheet based solutions are tried. At one point, he has the Java timer, an Excel chip calculator, an Excel result/payout tracker and a Java seating manager...all separate.
2004 - (June) Dr. Neau makes 'Dr. Neau's Tournament Manager, v1' available to the public for free. People tell him he should charge for it.
2005 - Dr. Neau releases v2. People actually pay. The Rock is banned from Canterbury Card Club. He continues enhancing the application through mid-2006.
2006 - Work begins on v3.
2009 - v3 is released.
2010 - v4 is released.

Dr. Neau has been running monthly 16-24 player tournaments since 2004 and uses his own league as a guinea pig for his software. He is a member of the Tournament Directors Association.

Testimonials
Darryl -May, 2009
'Version 3.0.9 was a smashing success, Jeff. Oh, there were those cockyfolks that had a copy of version 2 limited that they had gotten from a friendand thought they had it all. But when we started flashing photos on the screenthat were taken moments before and when the names and pictures of every playerthat was registered and eliminated started flashing up on the screen, you couldactually hear oohs and adds and little sheisters then coming up and asking ifthey could have a copy of it. I said 'Sure' and gave them your address.'
Matt -February, 2009
'I used the software this weekend for a charity tournament event. What afantastic piece of software.'
Chuck - January, 2006
'Your software is whatmakes our tourneys rock. You have done an outstanding job with it.'
Terr - July, 2005
'This is by far thebest tournament software Ihave used. I have read the target market for this is small home tournaments butlet me tell you in my opinion this is perfect for someone like me running large150 -200 person tournaments.'
'abhunter'- June, 2005
'...everyone had agreat time and said the tournament was run like a top notch game. They all saidthe software program made it all work out. I want to thank you for a greatproduct.'
'blockhead'- February, 2005
'But best part isthat the whining, bitching that used to go on is now gone.'
Some internet blog - February 2005
'This is one of the neatest programs that Ihave used for organizing the guys poker night at the house. Dr. Neau has usedhis 'skee-ill' to put together a well thought out program.'
Martin - February 2005
'This is by far the most complete andcustomizable tournament manager software that I had the chance to stumbleacross.'
Bard - February, 2005
'I finally got to take the software on twolive runs through actual tournaments this weekend, and it worked great. Took a lot of the the grunt work out of the game and let us enjoy the poker thatmuch more. Many thanks for all your effort; I wish some of these large softwarecompanies could see what can be done with a little time and effort and focus onthe product, rather than the profit. I appreciate the chance to try itout. If this ever does grow into something you could profit from, I wishyou all the luck.'
Gooty Brother - February, 2005
'Jeff: We used Tournament Manager('TM') for our 11th annual [tournament] last night. Although weemploy a rather unique combined limit/no-limit structure for a 7-card studtournament, TM did an admirable job of managing our tournament. Thoughtyou might enjoy seeing the fruits of your labor in action. The attachedphoto shows the winners of GBPT 2005 with TM displayed in the background.'
Jack - January, 2005
'You’re doing a great job developing this…..I have looked at other programs that cost in the $60 to $70 range that don’t have some of these features...'
Mr. Princeton - January, 2005
'I play a fair amount and just about every program I see pales in comparison to yours...'
Bruce - January, 2005
'I and all the guys in our tournaments love your software. We just started having tournaments and were concerned about how everyone would act. Some people get pissed off over the smallest thing (especially if they lose). By using your software, all the main decisions like who sits where, when the blinds change, keeping track of the finishing order, and so on, were made by the computer. No one got upset or angry and everything was great. Having your software has guaranteed that I will be invited to every tournament around. I sent you some money. I wished I could pay more. I am glad you took the time to work on this software and I am very glad you share it with others.'
Mr. BJC - July, 2004
'This program is awesome!...This program will make a lot of people happy...'
Jamaican Pete - July, 2004
'I wanted to let you know that I used the TM on the Mac on Saturday night...everything worked perfectly and it was a lot of fun for the table.'
Mr. Mooney - July, 2004
'I really like your tournament manager. I think it will add that little bit of class I need to pull this first time event off.'
Jamaican Pete - August, 2004
'I'm a regular at a couple of online poker forums, and every so often people post requests for recommendations for this type of software - Tournament Director seems to be the most commonly mentioned program. I've looked at it and I think yours is better. Would it be ok for me to refer people to Tournament Manager?'
Mickey C - August 2004
'Thanks for a great product and your time and effort'
MattE - August, 2004
'I can't thank you enough for all your hard work. I've sent [a payment] via paypal. I would have sent more, but I was knocked out 7th in the tournament Friday! Everyone was VERY impressed. I ran it as a sever (Mac G4, 400MHz, 1GigRAM, OS 10.3.5 with latest Java update from Apple) and as a client (17' 1.3 GHz G4 Powerbook, 1GigRAM, OS 10.3.5 & latest Java from Apple) over my wireless (802.11g) network. Everything went as smooth as silk. I was free to enjoy (getting my ass kicked) the tournament without worrying about managing it. It was a great success, the most fun I've had losing my ass. You should definitely NOT be giving this EXCELLENT piece of software away for free. In fact, I think you should be selling it to Casinos and Card Rooms for several hundred dollars a copy. I'm a software project manager and I have some idea of the pain you must have gone through to write and test this very full-featured cross platform application....'
