Share Match Results as Branded Images — WhatsApp, X, LinkedIn, and More
A printed standings sheet is great for the clubhouse wall. It's useless on WhatsApp. When a match finishes and someone asks "what was the score?" you shouldn't have to type it out — a branded image card does the job better than any message, and it gets the tournament URL in front of every viewer.
Every completed match on Score7 now has a Share as Image icon next to the match actions. One tap generates a 1200x630 PNG card with your tournament branding, and a dialog opens with every way you might want to share it — native share sheet on mobile, direct download, copy link, and 18 social platform buttons.
Free for everyone. On every tournament. On every completed match.
What's on the card
The card is designed to read cleanly in a social feed at a glance:
- Tournament header with your custom colour, tournament logo (if you've set one), and the round or stage label when the format has rounds
- Match area with both participants' names, logos, and scores — each set in its own column for multi-set matches (tennis, padel, volleyball)
- Score7 watermark footer with the tournament URL, so viewers can find the live bracket
The design handles every outcome:
- Regular results — winner's score in bold, loser in normal weight
- Walkovers — "W.O." instead of scores, with the forfeited participant's name struck through
- Voided matches — "Voided" in the match area
- Draws — both rows rendered normally with no winner highlight
- Multi-set — up to five sets per row, each in its own column
- Long names — truncated with ellipsis
Brand green is reserved for the header and footer accents, so the card works even when your tournament uses a custom colour instead of the default.
Five ways to share
Tap the share-as-image icon on any completed match and a dialog opens with:
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Share (mobile Chrome / Safari) | Opens the device's share sheet with the image attached — the PNG travels with the link |
| Download Image | Saves match-{home}-vs-{away}.png to your device |
| Copy link | Copies the tournament URL to your clipboard |
| Platform buttons | 18 targets: WhatsApp, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Telegram, Email, Reddit, Pinterest, Tumblr, Line, Viber, and more |
On mobile Chrome and Safari, the Share button is the fastest path — the native share sheet lists your most-used apps with the image already attached. On desktop or browsers that can share URLs but not files, you pick a platform button (it opens the platform's share dialog with the tournament link) and drop the downloaded image in yourself.
Instagram doesn't accept web share targets directly — use Copy link or Download Image, then open Instagram and post. On mobile the Share button routes through the device share sheet and Instagram can accept the image from there.
How to share a match result
- Open any match that has a result entered (regular, walkover, voided, or draw)
- Tap the share-as-image icon next to the match actions
- Wait a moment while the card is generated
- In the dialog that opens, choose Share, Download Image, Copy link, or a platform button
- Post it
That's it. No template to pick, no font to choose, no "generate" button — the card is ready by the time the dialog opens.
Practical uses
During a league season: Post a match result card to the league's WhatsApp group after every game. People who aren't at the venue stay engaged, and the tournament URL in the footer brings them back to check standings.
For player recaps: Weekend players share their own result cards to their personal feeds. Every share is organic reach for your tournament — no ads, no boosts, just people proud of their wins.
For semi-pro events: Cards posted to the event's X account during live matches give broadcasters and press something to quote-retweet. The image already has the tournament branding; no extra design work needed.
For school and community clubs: Post daily result round-ups to the club's Facebook page. A coach can scan the QR code on a printed standings sheet AND check the day's match cards from their phone.
Good to know
- Free for everyone. Editors and viewers, every plan, every tournament. No premium gating — sharing is the growth loop, not the paywall.
- Phase 1 covers match result cards. Standings cards, champion cards, and full bracket cards are on the roadmap but not in this release.
- No account needed to share. Viewers can open any match, tap the share icon, and post.
- Your logos appear on the card when you've set them in tournament settings and in participant profiles. If a logo can't be loaded, the card still renders — just without that logo.
- The card uses your tournament colour for the header and footer accent. Default is Score7 green. Set a custom colour in tournament settings to match your club or event brand.
- iOS Safari without the Share button: the image opens in a new tab — long-press to save to Photos.
