Do I need an organization before creating a public page?

Yes. The public page belongs to a BracketIQ organization, so create the organization first and then use its Public Page tab to set the slug, brand colors, visibility, widgets, headline, and intro text.

What should I check before sharing the organization page?

Confirm the public slug, brand colors, headline, intro text, page enablement, preview URL, and the visitor-facing sections for events, teams, rentals, and products before sending the link to players or parents.

When should I use BracketIQ widgets?

Use widgets when the organization already has its own website but wants BracketIQ events, rentals, teams, or products embedded there. Enable widgets, choose the filters, and copy the generated iframe or script snippet.

How to Create a Public Page for Your Sports Organization

Start from the organization dashboard

Create the organization first, then open its dashboard. If you have not done that yet, start with How to Create and Set Up an Organization in BracketIQ.

From the organization dashboard, select the Public Page tab. This is where BracketIQ keeps the public page, public slug, brand colors, widget settings, preview links, and embed snippets for the organization.

Use this workflow when a club, facility, or event organizer wants one public place for events, teams, rentals, products, and future registration links. The public page can be shared directly, and widgets can be embedded on another website when the organization wants BracketIQ data to appear on its existing site.

Configure the public page settings

In the Public page and widgets section, review the public-facing settings before sharing the page.

BracketIQ Public Page settings for slug, brand colors, page enablement, widgets, headline, and intro text

Check these fields:

Public slug controls the organization URLs, including /o/slug and /embed/slug.
Primary color and Accent color control the branded public-page styling.
Public page must be enabled before visitors can open the public organization page.
Widgets must be enabled before widget previews and embed snippets are usable.
Public headline should quickly explain who the organization is.
Public intro text should tell visitors what they can do on the page.
Allowed embed domains can restrict which websites are allowed to embed the widgets.
Completion redirect URL can send customers back to your website after a registration, rental, or purchase.

For a real organization, choose a slug that is short, recognizable, and stable. Changing the slug later can break old links that have already been shared.

Save and confirm the preview links

After the settings are correct, click Save. BracketIQ shows the preview slug status and public page URL so you can confirm the page is using the right address.

The screenshot uses a local development URL, but a live BracketIQ page should use the production BracketIQ domain.

Build widget snippets

Use the Preview and snippets section when the organization wants BracketIQ sections embedded on an external website.

Start with the widget type. For an events widget, choose:

Data limit for how many items the widget should show.
Date preset and optional date range.
Event type filters such as Event, Tournament, League, and Weekly Event.
Widget controls such as Date filter and Event type filter.
Whether to hide weekly events from the embedded listing.

BracketIQ generates both an iframe snippet and a script snippet. The iframe is usually the simplest option for a facility or club website. The script snippet gives more flexibility when the website can load the BracketIQ embed script.

Check the public organization page

Open Open public page before sharing the link. This is what players, parents, teams, renters, and customers see outside the manager dashboard.

Review the visible page for:

Organization name.
Headline and intro text.
Brand colors.
Calls to action such as Find events and Book rentals.
Upcoming events.
Teams.
Rentals.
Products.

An empty public page is still useful as a foundation, but it should not be your final state. Add the workflows your visitors need next, such as a league, tournament, pickup event, rental inventory, team listings, or products.

Check the widget preview

Open Open widget preview before embedding a snippet on another website. The widget preview confirms the filters and empty states that visitors will see inside the embedded section.

If the preview is empty, check whether the organization has published public events that match the selected filters. Empty widgets are normal while the organization is still being set up, but a live website should usually show a useful event list, rental list, team list, or product list.

Public page setup checklist

Use this checklist before sharing the organization page:

Open the organization dashboard.
Select Public Page.
Choose a stable public slug.
Set primary and accent colors.
Enable the public page.
Enable widgets if the organization will embed BracketIQ sections on another website.
Write a clear headline and intro text.
Add allowed embed domains when the website domain is known.
Add a completion redirect URL when customers should return to the organization website after public actions.
Save the settings.
Open the public page and review the visitor experience.
Open the widget preview and verify the filters.
Add the next public workflows: events, leagues, tournaments, rentals, teams, products, or payment processing.

After the public page is ready, set up the workflows that make it useful. You can create a league, create a tournament, set up online registration, or prepare organization payment processing before publishing paid registrations and rentals.
