Branding, sponsors and exporting your draw

Players judge a tournament by how it looks before they judge it by how it runs. A logo, a colour and a clean printed draw change how seriously people take the event — and they cost almost nothing to set up.

Logo and primary colour

During setup, step three asks for a logo and a primary colour. Upload the club's logo — a square or horizontal PNG with a transparent background works best — and pick the colour from your club's identity, not a default blue.

The logo then appears on the tournament page every player opens, and on every export you generate.

Sponsor logos

You can add sponsor logos to a tournament, and they show alongside the draw. This is the part most organisers underuse: a local racket shop or the bar next to the courts will often cover the ball budget for a logo on a page that fifty players will open twenty times each on a Saturday.

Exporting the draw

The share and export tool turns the tournament into a PDF or JPG. You choose what goes in:

• Which rounds to include.
• The full participants list, or just the matches.
• Results and winners for completed matches.
• Schedule and court for each match.
• Seed numbers next to each player — off by default, and usually best left off for social events.
• Sponsor logos.

A JPG is the one to drop in a group chat; a PDF is the one to print and tape to the clubhouse wall.

Three small habits that make a big difference

1. Export the draw the evening before and post it. People turn up on time when they have seen the schedule.
2. Export again at the end with results included. That image is your event's memory, and it fills next month's tournament.
3. Use the same logo and colour every time. Three editions in, your club tournament looks like a series.

Once the visuals are set, sharing the tournament is the step that gets everyone looking at them.
