How to run several divisions under one link

What you will learn

  • How divisions end up in one tournament, from entries or from the free generator
  • Where to publish and copy the one link
  • What labels the tabs, and how to put them in order
  • What the feature does not do yet, before you plan around it

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

A bracket holds one field of teams, so four age groups are four brackets. Putting them in one tournament changes the handout, not the brackets: each division is still scored on its own page, with its own results, and families get one address that covers all of them.

How to set it up

It depends on where the brackets come from.

Built from your entries

If teams entered online, there is nothing to set up. Every division you build on the Build page goes into the same tournament on its own, whether you build all four at once or one on Monday and the rest on Thursday. The divisions are the age groups listed on the program, so the tabs already read 10U, 12U and so on.

Built in the free bracket generator

  • All at once. In the generator, set How many divisions? to the number you are running, fill in each one's age group and teams, and press Keep this tournament. They save as one tournament. The name you gave it is the name every family sees at the top, so make it the weekend's, like "Grand Strand Fall Classic", not "10U".
  • One at a time. Save the first division as usual. When you save each of the others, pick the first one from Add it to one you already have. That list shows the tournaments you made in the generator; one built from entries never appears there, because its divisions come from its own entries.

A division cannot be moved into a different tournament after it is saved, so pick the right one when you save it.

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.

A public tournament page headed Grand Strand Fall Classic, with a line reading 14U, Volleyball, Single elimination and the dates and venue under it. Below that are four division tabs, 14U, 10U, 12U and 16U, with 14U highlighted as the one being viewed. Under the tabs a progress line reads Gold Semifinals in progress, 12 of 18 games played, beside an Up Next panel and a Latest Results panel
One weekend, four age groups, one link. The tab you are on is the division you see.

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 that are live appear. One that is not live has no tab at all, grayed out or otherwise, because a tab nobody can open is a question you have to answer on a Saturday morning. If you add a division after publishing, press Publish all again and it appears.

Putting the tabs in order

The Share page lists the divisions under Divisions on the public page, in the order the tabs appear. Use the up and down arrows beside each one to move it.

What this does not do yet

Worth knowing before you plan around it.

  • A division cannot change tournaments. There is no way to move a saved division into another tournament, or out of the one it is in and keep it as its own. Decide when you save it.
  • Publishing is all or nothing. Publish all puts every division live, and Take the tournament down takes every one down. There is no switch for a single division, because half a weekend being public is almost never what anybody meant.
  • 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. If teams entered online, every division you build goes into the same tournament automatically. In the free bracket generator, either build them all at once by choosing how many divisions you have, or save them one at a time and pick the same tournament each time. 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. 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 division's age group: the age groups listed on the program for a tournament built from entries, or the Age group or division box in the free generator. 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 live yet. Only live divisions appear, since a tab that nobody can open causes more questions than it answers. Press Publish all on the Share page and it shows up.
Can I move a division into a different tournament?
Not after it is saved. A division built from entries always belongs to its own tournament, and a bracket from the free generator joins the tournament you pick when you save it. Choose that one carefully.
Can I change the shared link after sending it out?
No, and that is deliberate. It is fixed the first time you publish and never moves, because by then it is on a poster or behind a QR code. Renaming the tournament in Settings changes the name on the page but not the address.
