How to Customize Tournament Rules and Description

Adding Rules and Descriptions to Your Tournament​

Every tournament needs clear information—whether it's rules, location details, game formats, or contact info. In Score7, you can add this directly in the Overview section under Rules & Description.

This section appears at the top of your public tournament page and supports rich formatting to make it clear and professional.

Where to Add or Edit Rules​

  1. Go to your tournament
  2. Open the Overview section from the left-hand menu
  3. Scroll to the Details area
  4. Click inside the Rules & Description box to start editing

Changes save automatically.

What You Can Include​

Use this space to share anything useful with your participants or viewers, such as:

  • Format details (e.g. “Top 2 teams from each group qualify”)
  • Match length and tiebreak rules
  • Location or venue information
  • Equipment rules or scoring method
  • Contact details or conduct guidelines

Formatting Tips​

You can use Markdown or basic HTML to format your description.

Examples:​

  • **Bold text** → Bold text
  • *Italic* → Italic
  • - Bullet lists or 1. Numbered lists
  • <a href="https://example.com">External links</a>
  • <br> for line breaks if needed

This helps make the information easier to scan, especially for mobile users or large tournaments.

Sport Selection Note​

You can also update the Sport name in this same section:

  • Choose from the dropdown list
  • Or type in a custom sport name and press Enter

This doesn’t affect the tournament logic, but it helps tailor the interface and determine if team or football-style features should be enabled.

Best Practices​

  • Keep descriptions concise but complete
  • Use spacing and headings for longer rulesets
  • Test how it looks on mobile for readability
  • Update it anytime—even after the tournament starts
