Branding your event

Three features give your tournament a distinct identity: the cover image, the URL slug, and the share token for private events.

Tournament cover image

Upload a cover image in Step 1 of the wizard or at any time from the edit page. Accepted formats are JPEG, PNG, and WebP. Files must be under 10 MB. Images are stored on S3 and served from a CDN; you do not need to compress them yourself, though smaller files upload faster on mobile connections.

The image is displayed as a wide banner at the top of the tournament detail page. A 16:9 landscape photo works best — portrait images will be center-cropped. The image is also used as the Open Graph preview when you share a link on social media or messaging apps.

URL slug

When you create a tournament, a URL slug is generated automatically from the tournament name. For example, a tournament named “Spring Bass Classic” gets the slug spring-bass-classic, giving it the friendly URL /tournaments/spring-bass-classic. The slug is derived from the name at creation time and does not change if you rename the tournament later.

Share tokens for unlisted tournaments

If you set a tournament's visibility to Unlisted, it does not appear in any browse or search results. Anglers can only reach it via a token-gated share link. The share link includes a one-time token appended to the tournament URL. Anyone who opens the link can view and register for the tournament; without the token, the page is not findable.

The share link is displayed on the tournament management page after you publish. Copy it and distribute it through your club's chat, email list, or anywhere else you communicate with your group.
