How to run several divisions under one link

What you will learn

  • How to put several age groups under one public link
  • What labels the tabs, and why short names matter
  • Why an unpublished division does not appear
  • What the feature does not do yet, before you plan around it

Running 10U, 12U, 14U and 16U over the same weekend? Put them together so every family gets one link instead of four, with tabs to move between the divisions.

A bracket holds one field of teams. Four age groups are four brackets, which used to mean four public links, and handing all four to every parent so they could work out which one was theirs. Grouping them fixes the handout, not the brackets: each division is still its own tournament, scored on its own page, with its own results.

How to set it up

Build each division the way you normally would, one bracket per age group, and save each one into your account. Then group them.

  • Open the first division and go to the Share tab.
  • Find Part of a bigger tournament, type a name for the whole weekend, and press Create. Something like "Grand Strand Fall Classic" or "Spring Shootout 2026", not "10U", because this is the name every family will see at the top.
  • Open each of the other divisions, go to their Share tab, and pick that same name from the dropdown. Press Save.
  • Publish each division, on that same Share tab, as usual.

The one link appears under the dropdown once a division is in a group, with a Copy button. That is the address to put on the poster, in the confirmation email, and behind the QR code.

What a family sees

The weekend's name at the top, the divisions as tabs underneath, and the first one already open. They tap their child's division once and get the same public page as always: the bracket, the schedule and the scores.

Every tab is a real link rather than a button, so a parent can bookmark the division they care about and come straight back to it. Doing that does not cut them off from the rest: a division's own page carries the same tabs, so they can still reach the others.

Only divisions you have actually published appear. An unpublished one is not shown as a tab at all, greyed out or otherwise, because a tab nobody can open is a question you have to answer on a Saturday morning. Publish it and it appears.

Taking a division back out

On that division's Share tab, choose Not part of one from the dropdown and save. The tournament is untouched: it keeps its bracket, its scores and its own public link, and just stops appearing in the tabs.

What this does not do yet

Worth knowing before you plan around it.

  • The tabs run in the order you added the divisions. There is no way to drag them into a different order, so add them youngest to oldest, or whichever order you want them read.
  • The name is set when you create it. There is no screen for editing or deleting a group afterward, so a group made by mistake stays in the dropdown. It does nothing while no tournament is in it.
  • Scores stay per division. There is no combined standings table across the whole weekend, because the divisions do not play each other.

Common questions

Can I run multiple age groups in one tournament?
Yes. Build a bracket for each age group, then put them in the same group from the Share tab. Families get one link that opens on the first division with tabs to the rest, and each division is still scored on its own page.
Do parents need a separate link for each division?
No, that is the point of grouping them. One link covers the whole weekend. Each division does still have its own link, which keeps working and also shows the tabs, so anything you sent out earlier is not broken.
What decides the name on each tab?
The Age group or division field on that tournament's Settings tab. Keep it short, like 10U or Boys 14U, because long names run off the side of a phone. If it is empty the tab falls back to the whole tournament name.
Why is one of my divisions missing from the tabs?
Almost always because it is not published yet. Only published divisions appear, since a tab that nobody can open causes more questions than it answers. Publish it on its Share tab and it shows up.
Can I change the shared link after sending it out?
No, and that is deliberate. It is fixed when the group is created and never moves, because by then it is on a poster or behind a QR code. Renaming the weekend changes the name on the page but not the address.
