One link for the whole festival. Parents find their child's match in seconds.

Every multi-category event now has one public page with live scores, tables, overall standings, event-wide top scorers and a match page for every football game.

The event page of a youth football festival on the Now tab with live matches, a live stream, event leaders and overall standings

Picture a Saturday at a youth football festival: U8, U10, U12 and futsal U14, four pitches, ten clubs. By 9:30 a parent is standing between two pitches asking the same question you have answered forty times: "What time does my son play, and where?" With separate links per age group, the answer means opening four pages. Now there is one link. Share it once, and everyone from the grandmother in the stands to the coach on the touchline can see what is live, what is next and what just ended.

One page, five tabs, no hunting

Open the event page and it starts on Now: matches in play with their live score, the next matches coming up, recent results and the champions of every category that has already finished. A parent who opens the link at the pitch sees the answer to "what is happening right now?" without a single tap.

The other tabs are just as plain. Tables shows the standings for each category, Matches lists every game across the event, Stats holds the leaders, and Info has the address, the date and the organizer's notes. Nothing is hidden behind a menu, and the page is built for a phone held in one hand at the edge of a pitch.

You do not have to explain how to use it. Put the link in the parents' group chat, print the QR code on the welcome board, and you are done.

Find your team, follow your club

A club rarely plays in one category. Start Brzeziny can have teams in U8, U10 and U12, and a parent only cares about their own club. Type the club name into Find your team and the search shows one entry per club, not one for every age group.

Follow the club and its matches are highlighted across all categories: the U8 game on pitch one, the U12 game an hour later on pitch three. A parent with two children in different age groups finally gets one schedule instead of two.

Overall standings: which club had the best festival?

Age-group tables tell you who won U10. They do not tell you which club had the best day overall, and that is the question coaches argue about over coffee. The overall standings add up points for the final place of every club in every category. Each club's row shows how many points it earned in U8, in U10, in U12 and in futsal.

The table also says how many categories are already counted, for example 1/4, so nobody reads a half-finished ranking as the final result. As categories finish, the numbers move and the label counts up to 4/4.

A match page for every football game

Tap a match and you land on a page of its own. It shows the score, whether the game is live or finished, and the pitch or court it is played on. Below it is the timeline: goals, own goals, yellow and red cards, each with the minute. A parent who arrives late can read the whole story of the game in ten seconds.

The page also lists both team squads, clearly marked as tournament squads rather than the match line-up, so nobody mistakes the list for the starting eleven. You also get the next matches of both teams, a link to the standings and your sponsors, so the people who paid for the balls are seen by everyone looking at the score.

While a game is live, the page refreshes every 10 seconds, so the score changes in front of a parent who never touches the screen. Match pages work for football, futsal, handball, hockey, FIFA, Rocket League and foosball. And for football it costs nothing: the match page is free for every tournament, no paid plan needed.

Event-wide top scorers and cards

Who scored the most goals at the festival? Not in U10, in the whole event. Top scorers and cards are now merged across categories, and a player who plays in two age groups is counted once, not twice. The top three sit on the Now tab so the buzz is visible all day, and the Stats tab shows the top five scorers and the card leaders side by side.

For the kids it is the best part of the day. A seven-year-old who scored three goals wants to see his name on the screen, and his parents want to show it to the grandparents.

Live streams on the same page

If you stream matches, the Now tab gets a Live Streams block with a tab for every live match that has a stream link: YouTube, Twitch, Vimeo or Facebook. Live match cards also get a watch button, and the match page shows the player right under the score. Grandparents who could not come see the goal as it happens.

Live streams are a PRO feature. The fan page, the match page for football, the tables and the leaders work on every plan.

Private players stay private

A fan page is public, so privacy matters. A player marked as private appears as Private player, never by name, in the scorers list, the cards list and the match timeline. Squads are shown publicly only when you choose to publish top scorers. If your tournament is private and protected by an access code, the squads stay behind that code.

You decide how much to show, and the default protects the children.

Frequently asked questions

Which events get the fan page?

Every event with several categories, for example a youth festival with U8, U10, U12 and futsal U14. Share the event link and parents get Now, Tables, Matches, Stats and Info on one page.

Do parents need an account or an app?

No. The page opens in any phone browser from a link or a QR code. Nobody has to register or install anything.

How does the overall standings table work?

Each club earns points for its final place in every category, and the table adds them up. The label shows how many categories are already counted, such as 1/4, so a ranking that is not final yet is easy to recognize. The row of each club shows the points from every category.

Is the match page really free?

Yes. The match page for football is free for every tournament and needs no paid plan. The same page exists for futsal, handball, hockey, FIFA, Rocket League and foosball. Live streams are the exception: they are a PRO feature.

Does the score update by itself?

Yes. Live pages refresh every 10 seconds, so parents see new goals without reloading the page.

What do the squads on the match page show?

They show the tournament squads of both teams, and the page marks them as such. They are not the line-up for that specific match. Squads are public only when you publish top scorers, or when the tournament is private and behind its access code.

Can I hide a child from public lists?

Yes. A player marked as private is shown as Private player in scorers, cards and the match timeline, never by name.
