Your tournament has a public page. Watching it requires no account; anyone with the link can open it. The page opens on Live; Fixtures and Standings are always there. Other sections appear only when they are available in that tournament: Draw when there is an official group draw, Rules when a rules document has been filled in; Statistics and Penalties depend on the tournament’s plan and settings. Getting notifications is separate from watching: signed-in visitors can use the “Follow” button on the same page to add the tournament to their own list and receive notifications (see “How do I follow a tournament?”).
Where do I find the address?
Tap “Share” in the top band of the Overview. The “Share Tournament” panel shows the tournament code, a QR code ready to scan and a “Copy Link” button. If your device supports it, the “Share” button opens your phone’s own share sheet, so you can send the link through apps such as WhatsApp, Messages or email. “View Tournament” opens the public page in the same window (if you use the app from your home screen, you stay inside the app), with the address written just below it. You can share the code, the address or the QR code. The public page has the same Share panel in its top band (without “View Tournament”, since you are already on that page).
What it shows, and what it does not
- It shows: the live match (score, minute, event timeline), every match’s detail, fixtures, standings, the official draw result, top scorers and card statistics, Player of the Match picks and active penalties only. When there is no live or scheduled match at the moment (for example after the group stage or between two knockout rounds), Live says so and points you to Fixtures; the group line-up stays in the Draw section. Once the tournament is over, Live shows the champion and the final result. If the leaders are still level on every tie-break criterion, the note “Champion not decided yet — awaiting the tie-break draw.” is shown until the organiser runs the championship draw.
- It does not show what it should not: a draft draw never reaches the public page, management settings are not visible, referee names and the internal notes/defences of penalty records never leave the system, and past penalties are not listed.
- Seeding numbers are never shown on the public page; they appear only on management screens.
Who can see my tournament?
Tournament Settings › Publishing & Appearance offers three options. “Public”: the tournament is listed in discovery and search, and anyone with the link can follow it. “Anyone with the link” (default): it is not listed, but everyone you share the link with can follow it without an account. “Private”: the public page is closed; only the tournament’s management can see it.
You can change the choice at any time; nothing is deleted. Visibility works the same in every plan and needs no extra feature.
The Rules section
The text you write in the “Tournament Rules / Regulations” field under Tournament Settings › General is published in the Rules section, the last section of the public page; if the field is empty, the section is not shown. This text is a read-only set of regulations: it does not change the tournament’s settings and the system does not interpret it. It can no longer be changed once the tournament is completed.
How many people looked? (visit counters)
“Today’s Visits” and “Total Visits” at the bottom of the tournament’s Overview screen show the visits to the public page. A visit is one browser opening the page; the same browser opening it again within 30 minutes is not counted as a new visit, so the number is not a count of unique people. Visits by people who can manage the tournament are not counted, so you cannot test the counter with your own visit. “Today” follows the tournament’s time zone. Only tournament management sees the numbers; they are not shown on the public page.
The third box in the same row, “Active Followers”, is the number of accounts that currently follow the tournament with “Follow”. People who unfollowed and accounts that are suspended, inactive or deleted are not counted; several devices of the same account count as one follower. It is separate from visits: people who watch the page without following are not included. Who follows is not shown; only the total is visible. The organizer, tournament officials and platform management see the number; it is not shown on the public page. The box is hidden together with the “Visits and followers” section in “Edit Overview”.
Logo, brand name and colours
On the same screen, the “Tournament Identity” card lets you set your own logo, brand name, colours and the “Add to Home Screen” app identity, if your plan allows it. If your plan does not include this, the card shows only a short note and the tournament is published with the TurnuvaGo brand. Every field left empty falls back to the TurnuvaGo default.
Sponsor banners
Active sponsors for which you uploaded an image on the Sponsors screen are shown on the public page in two separate areas: the top banner below the tournament identity card (a fixed 1100:192 area) and the bottom panel that opens from the bottom of the page (visitors can minimize it). On that screen you choose separately which sections show each area. See “How do I add sponsors and banners?” for details.
Live stream (YouTube)
If the tournament’s package includes Live Stream and management has attached a YouTube link to a match, the public page shows a stream area above the match card in the Live tab while that match is selected; the “Live Score” area below keeps showing the score, minute and events. When the page opens, this area only shows a placeholder with a play symbol and the text “Play on YouTube”; nothing is loaded from YouTube yet. When the visitor taps it, the YouTube player (privacy-enhanced embed mode) loads in the same area and a connection to Google is made; the video comes directly from YouTube to the visitor’s browser. If the browser does not start playback by itself, YouTube’s own play button is used. The choice is not remembered; the placeholder appears again when the page is reopened. Matches without a link show no stream area.
Sharing a report PDF from an iPhone or iPad
If you added TurnuvaGo to the Home Screen of an iPhone or iPad, tapping “Download PDF” in Reports opens the PDF inside the app. The “Share” button at the top hands the PDF file itself to your phone’s share sheet, so you can send it via WhatsApp or email, or save it with “Save to Files” if your device offers it. “Close” takes you back to the same report screen. If the preview cannot open, the reason and a “Try again” button appear on the screen. In Safari, on Android and on a computer the PDF downloads as before.
A draft draw never reaches the public page. The outside world sees the draw only after you make it official.
