Your tournament's home page is built from blocks in the Website Editor. This page is the complete reference for every block you can place — what it shows, and any plan or tournament requirements. For how to add, reorder, show/hide and publish blocks, see the Website Editor guide.

How the home page is organized#

The Home canvas runs top to bottom, in the exact order visitors see it. Blocks fall into four regions:

  • Hero — the banner pinned to the very top.
  • Info cards — small blocks that flow into rows, up to four side by side.
  • Big cards — large blocks that always take the full width.
  • Full-width bands — page-wide strips that sit between your rows; a few of them show on every page, not just Home.

In the editor, all info cards sit in one Small cards group and all large blocks in one Big cards group. Reorder blocks inside each group, and drag the groups and the bands to set the order of the page.

Reading the badges#

On the canvas, each block shows small labels:

  • HIDDEN — the block is on your canvas but not shown on the public site. Click its eye to turn it on.
  • Premium (with a lock) — the block needs a paid plan; until you upgrade it stays locked and off.
  • All pages — the block appears on every page of your site, not only Home.
  • A counter on a group (for example, Small cards 5/13 or Big cards 3/7) shows how many blocks in that group are currently switched on out of the total available.

Defaults depend on the lifecycle state. MyCup pre-enables a sensible set of blocks for each stage — Setup, Registration, Upcoming, Live, Completed — so a page in sign-up mode leads with a countdown and a registration prompt, while a finished tournament leads with a champions recap. You can show or hide any block in any state. See Editing per lifecycle state.

Hero#

The Hero is the large banner at the top of the page and is pinned first — it can't be moved or removed. Edit it to show or hide the tournament logo, the status badge and the description, to write a custom hero Description, and to choose a background image. Hero content is shared across all lifecycle states, so you set it once. See Themes & Backgrounds for background options.

Info cards (small blocks)#

Small cards line up in rows of up to four. There are 13 to choose from.

  • Countdown — A live countdown (days, hours, minutes, seconds) to kickoff — the next scheduled match, or a date you set.
  • Tournament Dates — The tournament's start date, or its full date range.
  • Current Phase — The stage the tournament is in right now, such as "Group Stage" or "Quarter-Finals".
  • QR Code — A scannable QR code that opens your public site, with an Enlarge & Print link so you can post it at the venue.
  • Install App — A prompt inviting visitors to add your site to their phone's home screen as an app (PWA).
  • Structure Link — A shortcut card that links straight to your Structure / bracket page.
  • Total Matches — The total number of matches in the tournament.
  • Teams Count — The number of participating teams (or participants, for individual sports).
  • Goals Scored — The total number of goals scored so far. Shown only for sports that record goals.
  • Top Scorer Preview — The current leading scorer. Shown only for sports that record goals.
  • Social Media Card — Links out to your tournament's social media profiles. Enter the links in the card's settings (pencil); it stays hidden until at least one is filled in.
  • Sponsors strip — A compact row of sponsor logos, shown while sponsors are switched on for your website. Premium (Sponsors feature).
  • Custom Card — A small card you fill with your own title and text — use it for anything the standard cards don't cover.

Big cards (large blocks)#

Large blocks always span the full width. There are 7 to choose from.

  • Upcoming Matches — The next fixtures, each with kickoff time, the two teams, the specific group or round, and the venue.
  • Latest Results — Recently finished matches with their final scores.
  • Live now — Matches currently in progress. It appears only while something is actually being played.
  • Standings Preview — A compact league table (the top of the standings) that links to the full Standings page.
  • Top Scorers — A leaderboard of the tournament's top goal scorers. Shown only for sports that record goals.
  • Venues — A list of the tournament's venues / grounds.
  • Custom Content Block — A full-width block for your own rich content — announcements, rules, a welcome message, sponsor shout-outs, anything you like.

Full-width bands#

Bands span the page width and sit between your card and big-card rows. Toggle each one with its eye; hidden bands stay on the canvas so you can switch them back on.

  • Winner recap — A slim champions strip celebrating the winners. It stays hidden until you publish the tournament's Summary, then appears automatically — ideal for the Completed stage.
  • Banners — A strip of promotional image banners. Premium (Images feature).
  • Divisions picker — Lets visitors jump between divisions. Premium (Divisions feature) and only relevant for multi-division tournaments. Its heading follows the word you chose on the Divisions page, so the block itself has nothing to edit. With division groups switched on, it shows a card per group instead, and visitors pick the level on the group's own page.
  • Registration call-to-action — A prominent "register your team" prompt, ideal while sign-ups are open.
  • Call to action — A custom call-to-action band with your own headline and button. Off by default until you set it up.
  • Documents — A list of your published documents — rulebook, schedule, forms — each with a download or link. Shows the first few, with a link through to the full page. Premium (advanced website features); hidden until you add a document.
  • Sponsors — The full sponsors band. Premium (Sponsors feature); shows on All pages.
  • Share tournament — Social share buttons so visitors can spread the word. Shows on All pages.

Notes on availability#

  • Sport-aware blocks. The three scorer blocks — Goals Scored, Top Scorer Preview and Top Scorers — are only offered for sports that record goals. For a sport without goal events they're left out entirely, since they'd have nothing to show.
  • Mode-aware blocks. The Divisions picker only applies once your tournament has more than one division.
  • Premium blocks stay on the canvas but locked and off until your plan unlocks the feature — so you never publish an empty, locked strip. Upgrade from the Plans page.
