The public results site

Every published tournament gets a public site at its own address. It is the thing you share, the thing that gets bookmarked, and — on the day — the thing several hundred people have open at once.

What it carries

  • Schedule — every match with its pitch and kick-off time, filterable by day, category, group or team.
  • Standings — group tables that update as results are entered.
  • Brackets — knockout brackets that advance teams automatically.
  • Teams — a page per team with its fixtures and results.
  • Live — what is happening right now, across the tournament.
  • Map — where the venues and pitches are.

It is available in eight languages and built for a phone, because that is where it is read: outdoors, one-handed, by someone who needs to know which hall to walk to.

Following a team

Visitors can follow a team and get its fixtures and results without hunting for them each time. In the FairGame mobile app, following also turns on push notifications: a followed team's next match, its result, and any change to when or where it is played.

This is the channel that reaches people who will never read an email from the organizer, and it costs you nothing to operate.

What is not on it

The public site shows the competition, not your admin. Draft tournaments, unpublished changes, referee assignments, registration payments and contact details are not there.

Sharing it

The tournament's address is stable from the moment you publish, so it can go on a poster, in the registration confirmation, and in every announcement. It does not change when the schedule does.

If you have published and then discovered a mistake in the draw, fixing it in the admin app is enough — the public site is a view of the live data, not a copy that needs re-exporting.
