The public tournament pages

Every competition in Profixio — a weekend cup as well as a division in a league season — has a public site that anyone can open without signing in. It is the page organisers put on posters, share in club groups and send to parents.

The address is built from the competition's short name, for example www.profixio.com/app/profixio_demo_cup. Series divisions are often linked by an internal id instead, for example www.profixio.com/app/leagueid15745. Both forms are permanent — they keep working when the competition is renamed.

A public site can contain:

• a front page with the logo, a short description, dates, counts of teams and matches, and links to everything else;
• the match programme, browsable by class, by day, by venue or court, and by team;
• results, tables and playoff brackets as they are registered;
• team pages with the squad, and the list of registered teams;
• the referee list, when the organiser publishes it;
• facilities and a map of the venues.

The same pages are what the Profixio app shows — the app is a wrapper around them, not a separate product.

Everything on these pages is subject to the organiser's own visibility choices. A competition can publish its fixtures but hide its results, hide one class, hide a single match, or keep the whole match programme unpublished while the draw is being built.

Profixio has two generations of public competition page, and they look nothing alike.

The classic tournament pages. A front page with a picture, and under it a vertical stack of large buttons — Matches, My Teams, the registered-teams count, Referees and any pages the organiser has added. A slim menu across the top of every match page gives Categories, Latest results, a day-by-day view, Facilities, Teams, Referees and Reports.

The newer competition pages. A banner with the competition name, and under it a row of tabs: Home, Schedule, Tables, Playoffs, and Player stats when the competition has them. Home shows registration information, upcoming and played matches and the tables side by side.

Which one you get is decided automatically, not by a setting. Competitions that are part of a series or league season get the newer pages. Stand-alone cups and tournaments get the classic pages. An individual competition cannot be switched between the two.

What follows from that:

• If you open a cup on a new-style address, you are permanently redirected to its classic page, keeping anything after the ? in the link. Links you share therefore always end up on the right page.
• The reverse never happens. An old bookmark stays on the classic pages; there is no mechanism that upgrades an existing link to the newer generation.
• A competition that is hidden from search is not reachable on a new-style address at all — the page reports that it cannot be found.

Both generations are open to everyone.

This is the classic front page a cup or tournament shows at www.profixio.com/app/<short name>. Blocks appear in this order, and each one disappears when it has nothing to say:

1. The picture and the title. The tournament's own logo or background image, with Welcome to and the tournament name over it. The organiser can turn the name off with the Show tournament name toggle; the picture then stands alone. If no image has been uploaded, a stock picture for the sport is used, so the front page never looks empty.
2. A link to the tournament's own website, if the organiser has entered one.
3. A counter — the number of matches and the number of teams — once teams are visible and matches exist.
4. For a series division: the level, the division name, the season and the federation.
5. A place line under the title, and a short description the organiser writes themselves.
6. A cancelled notice, if the tournament has been marked as cancelled.
7. The registration deadline, while registration is open, and a Sign up button for people allowed to register a team.
8. My Teams, with a count of the teams you follow or administer.
9. Matches, with the total number of matches on a badge. If the tournament has only one class, this goes straight to that class's match list instead of via the class list.
10. The registered-teams line, phrased as a count of teams across a count of classes, linking to the full team list.
11. A timeline of the tournament's key dates, such as the start, the end and the registration deadline, before the tournament has started.
12. The tournament's main page, if the organiser has written one — a full article shown in addition to the description.
13. A match search box and match list, once there is a match programme.
14. A status card — registration not open yet, tournament under way, tournament finished, or registration closed.
15. Referee Registration, when referees can still sign up.
16. The organiser's own pages — one button per page in the tournament's menu.
17. Referees, with a count, when the referee list is public.
18. Register Results, when the organiser has set up a shared password for result registration.
19. The latest news from the tournament.

Organisers with tournament-settings rights see an Edit Info button in the corner. It opens the picture, title, place line and description for editing in place, with Change logo underneath. Everything else on the front page comes from settings elsewhere.

A tournament that has not been approved or published yet shows a warning only to its own administrators, with a link to the publish page. Ordinary visitors never see it: until the tournament is published, it does not appear in search or lists, and a direct link does not open it. A tournament can only be published after it has been approved.

On the classic pages, a menu sits above every match page:

The menu only appears once the tournament has a group and match setup, and only for people allowed to see the match programme. An organiser can put a free-text note directly under the menu — it is a good place for parking information or a link to a live stream.

Outside the tournament, a menu is always available with Tournaments/Leagues (the finder), My Profixio, the tournament you are currently in and its own pages, Register Team and Register Results where they apply, Log in, and About this app pinned at the bottom. A star in the top bar takes you to your own matches. The box at the top of the menu filters the menu items themselves; it does not search matches or teams.

The class list keeps classes that have no visible matches yet — they simply show no match count — so an empty class is a sign the fixtures are not out, not that the class is missing.

A class page shows the class's groups. Each group has its table and its matches, with Upcoming and Played tabs and a match count. Where a group has no table yet, a Teams list is shown in its place, with each team's seeding number. Where a class has group play, intermediate rounds and a playoff, each of those gets its own block on the same page. A Statistics button appears for classes that keep player statistics.

A court or pitch page lists everything played on that one surface, with Matches only today and Matches only playoff filters, and a map pin when coordinates have been set.

Searching the match programme. The box above a match list is labelled Search within the matches and matches on: the match number, the match name, the home team, the away team, the court name and the class code. It does not search player names. Typing narrows the list live and shows how many matches matched.

Match lists can be shown as cards or as a compact list; the switcher sits above the list and your choice is remembered.

On the newer competition pages, the same job is done by the Schedule tab: one long list with an upcoming/played filter, a sort toggle, and more matches loading as you scroll. Filters for club, venue and day are available where the competition is large enough to need them.

Results appear on the match card the moment they are registered — there is no separate publishing step for a score. What a visitor sees depends on the sport: a final score or set scores.

Tables are shown per group, directly under that group's heading, and are recalculated as results arrive. On a narrow screen a Show/hide table button collapses them. Two messages tell you a table is deliberately absent:

• Tables are not shown for this category — the whole class has tables switched off.
• The table is hidden in public view — this particular table is hidden while an administrator viewing the page can still see it.

Some competitions publish a result list and ranking points alongside the table rather than a classic standings table.

Playoff brackets. On the classic pages a playoff section can be expanded into a graphic tree with View the Playoff Tree, showing each round beside the previous one with the winners carried forward. The graphic tree is offered for stand-alone tournaments only — a series division shows its playoff as ordinary match sections and tables instead. Fixtures whose teams are decided by final table position show where each team comes from, such as a group and a placing, until the team is known. When the class's tables are hidden from the public, they show as Not decided instead.

On the newer competition pages, tables and brackets have their own tabs:

• The Tables tab appears only when the competition actually has table data to show and tables are not hidden.
• The Playoffs tab appears only when you have opened a specific class and that class has a published bracket with playoff matches in it. On the whole-competition view there is no Playoffs tab, even for a competition that has playoffs — pick the class first.
• The Home tab shows the tables in compact form, and swaps the order once the group stage is complete so the playoff comes first.

How standings are actually calculated, and the tie-break criteria, are covered separately.

The registered-teams list is the page most parents look for before the fixtures exist. It is reached from the front page and from the Teams menu item, and shows every registered team with the classes it plays in.

It is not always public. The organiser controls two things: whether the registration list is shown to the public at all, and a minimum number of registered teams before it appears — so that a competition with three sign-ups does not advertise the fact. Both are in the tournament's team settings. Once the match programme is out, registration has closed and no class is still accepting entries, those two limits are ignored and the list is shown regardless: at that point the teams are visible in the fixtures anyway.

People with team-administration rights in the tournament always see the list and the real count, which is why an organiser checking the page cannot reproduce what a parent reports. Check it signed out.

On the list you can search for a team, sort it, and collapse the extra information down to plain names. Tournaments created for training and demonstration purposes have no public team list at all — opening it sends you back to the front page.

There is also a fuller registrations overview listing every registration by class and club. If the organiser has switched the registration list off, opening it sends you back to the ordinary team list with the message The list of registrations is hidden for this tournament.

A team page has three tabs — Matches, Players and Tables. What a visitor gets on each:

• Matches and Tables work like the rest of the public pages.
• The Players tab only exists when the tournament registers players, and then only when the class is set to show its squad publicly — otherwise you must be the team's own leader, its club administrator or an organiser to see it.
• Even on a public squad list, players below a minimum age set for the tournament are withheld entirely and shown as Person info is not available. Birth dates are never shown to ordinary visitors.
• Payment status and the team's contact details are shown only to the team's own administrators and to organisers, not on the public view — except in Swedish beach volleyball, where every visitor sees whether a team is Paid or Not paid.

Team leaders' names, mobile numbers and e-mail addresses on the team list and under a match card are a deliberate choice. When the federation has turned on sharing contact details between teams, they are revealed only to referees appointed in the competition, to people with referee or team-administration rights, to club administrators with a team in the competition, and to the tournament's own team leaders. Without that federation choice, they are revealed only in a tournament that lets team leaders register results, and then only to its team leaders and to people with team-administration rights. A plain spectator never sees them.

Visitors who are not signed in see an invitation on the team list: You can log in to follow teams and be notified of match results.

More on what a team page and a player profile show is on the club, team and player pages topic.

On the newer competition pages the equivalent is on the Home tab: a Registration Information box with the deadline and status, and a list of registered teams grouped by level. Both appear while registration is open, and stay while registration is closed but no fixtures have been published — once fixtures exist, the Home tab shows matches and tables instead.

A tournament can publish the referees it has appointed. When it does, a Referees item appears in the match menu and on the front page with a count, listing each referee with the number of matches they have, and linking to that referee's own match list.

Whether a visitor sees it depends on several conditions, all decided by the organiser and the sport:

• The tournament must actually have referees appointed to matches.
• The organiser's referee settings must not have referees hidden. The relevant setting is How do you want to present refrees?, with the choices Show the referees in the matches and Hide all referees in the matches.
• A second setting, Show link to referees in matches list?, decides how the referee link behaves: Show the link but require the referee to login, Show link, and show referres without login, or Hide the referee link. The middle choice shows the list to everyone.
• Volleyball and beach volleyball keep referee names visible even after results are in.
• For other sports the list closes after the tournament's end date has passed.

Anyone with match-editing rights in the tournament sees the referee list regardless of all of the above.

A referee's own page on the public site shows their name and how many matches they have. Contact details are not public: e-mail and mobile are for organisers, and a separate setting can additionally let the tournament's team leaders see a referee's mobile number.

Series and leagues have their own, independent rule that can keep referees anonymous for a whole division. Appointing referees, publishing them on the match list and the anonymity rules are covered by the referee topics.

You do not need an account to mark a team or a competition as a favourite. The star on a team, a match list or a competition works straight away for a visitor, and the choice is stored on the device you are using.

If you later create an account or sign in on that device, the favourites you already marked are carried over to the account, so you do not lose them and do not have to mark everything again.

What favourites give you: your own filtered view of matches and competitions, a My Teams shortcut on the tournament front page, and — once you are signed in — notifications when your teams' results are registered or their matches change. The tournament pages themselves invite you to do this with the line You can log in to follow teams and be notified of match results.

How favourites, my matches and notifications behave in the Profixio app is covered on the app topic.

The public pages are available in eight languages: English, Norsk, Svenska, Español, Deutsch, Dansk, Suomalainen and Turkish [Türkçe].

A visitor does not pick one. The language is chosen automatically on the first page you open, and then kept for the rest of your visit:

1. Your browser's preferred language decides first. A browser set to Norwegian Bokmål gets Norwegian.
2. If that lands on English, the country your connection appears to come from is used to refine it — so a Swedish visitor with an English browser gets Swedish.
3. Anything else falls back to Norwegian.

Because the choice is made once and remembered, changing your browser's language mid-visit does not change the page. Open the site in a private window to get a fresh detection.

To change language, open About this app — the last item in the main menu. It has a language picker; choosing a language applies it immediately and returns you to the page you came from, and it is remembered for the rest of your visit.

There is no language picker on the tournament pages themselves. The globe icon some administrators see in the header is the translation tool, shown only to people allowed to translate Profixio; it is not a visitor feature.

What actually gets translated: the fixed wording of the pages — menu items, headings, buttons, status texts. Text the organiser has written themselves — the tournament description, its own pages, class names, group names and team names — appears exactly as it was typed, in whatever language that was. A Norwegian cup read in English will therefore still have Norwegian class names.

How Profixio's own wording is translated and corrected is covered on the translation topic.

Profixio has moved its public addresses more than once, and old links are kept working rather than retired.

Older /matches/... addresses still work. Links of the form www.profixio.com/matches/<tournament>/... — for the front page, a class, a group, a playoff, a team, a match, the day view, the venues, the referee list and the team list — all redirect to the same content at its current address. Anything printed in a programme from an earlier season should still land correctly.

Competition short names are stable. A competition keeps its short name even if it is renamed, so a shared link survives a rename. Series divisions linked by their internal id are equally stable.

New-style links to cups fold back to the classic pages, keeping any tracking parameters after the ?. This is a permanent redirect, so browsers and search engines learn the classic address.

Old links are never upgraded to the newer pages. If you want people on the newer competition pages, the link has to be created there — nothing rewrites an existing bookmark.

What does break: links to a competition that has since been hidden from search, and links to individual matches or teams that have been deleted. A link to a team that has been withdrawn from a competition gives an ordinary visitor a missing-page error; only people with rights on that team see the page with a notice explaining it is no longer taking part.
