League (round-robin): Everyone plays everyone — the fairest way to rank a field over a season.
Home & away: A league where every pair plays twice — once at home, once away.
Knockout: Win or go home — fastest way to a champion; great for one-day events.
Swiss: Many players, few rounds — opponents matched by record. Built for chess and large fields.
Double elimination: One loss isn't the end — a losers' bracket gives everyone a second chance.
Groups + knockout: Group stage to sort the field, then a knockout to crown a winner — the World Cup format.
Chess scoring: Half-points, Swiss pairing and Sonneborn-Berger tiebreaks built in.

Football: Goals for, against, difference — GF / GA / GD columns.
Robotics: Points for, against, difference — PF / PA / PD columns, typically larger totals.
Chess: Wins, draws, losses, points — goal columns disappear automatically.
Other activities: Any activity that fits a league, knockout, group or Swiss structure works — the scoring adapts.

Arabic & English: Toggle EN|ع in any page header to switch. All pages — including public competition pages — work fully in Arabic with right-to-left layout.
No login for fans: Public competition pages are viewable by anyone with the link — no account needed.

Club profiles: Every club has a public profile page at /clubs/[id]. It shows the club name and colors, a short bio (editable by organizers), the club's current standings in each division they compete in, upcoming fixtures, recent results with scores, and the squad list. Club names throughout the platform — in standings tables and fixture lists — link to their profile. To add a bio: go to the division workspace, find the club in the roster list, and click the bio edit disclosure.

Scorekeeper access: Create a scoped access link that lets a designated person submit match results for a division without a full organizer account. Go to the division workspace, open the Scorekeepers panel, and click Create scorekeeper link. Set a label, choose whether submissions require your approval, and set an expiry. Copy the generated link and share it. The scorekeeper sees only the matches in their division. Results submitted directly go live immediately and trigger a standings recompute. Results submitted in approval mode appear in the Pending approvals queue for you to review first.

Announcements: Publish a broadcast to your league, a specific division, or a specific club. Go to your league admin page and use the Announcement composer. Set a title (up to 120 characters), write the body (up to 1,000 characters), choose the target audience, and publish. The announcement appears on the public league page and in the notification bell for all org members. Optionally send it as an email to all org members by toggling Send email.

Notifications: The bell icon in the admin header shows unread notifications. You receive a notification when: an organizer publishes an announcement, a match result is confirmed, a scorekeeper submits a result that needs your approval, or a match reminder fires 24 hours before a scheduled fixture. Click the bell to see recent notifications. Click Mark all read or click an individual notification to clear it.

Activity feed: The public league page shows a chronological feed of league activity. Result cards show both clubs, their colors, the score, the matchday, and the division. Club names link to their profile pages. Use the share button on any result card to copy a direct link. When standings change after a result, a movement indicator appears in the feed. Announcements also appear in the feed as broadcast cards. The feed updates within 60 seconds of new activity.

Reactions and comments: Go to your league admin page, find the Community settings card, and toggle Reactions or Comments on. Reactions are always open — anyone can react to a result card with 🔥 👏 😮 💪 🎉 by entering a display name. Comments default to pre-moderation: submitted comments appear in your Pending comments queue and only go public once you approve them. Toggle off pre-moderation if you want comments to go live immediately. Turn off reactions or comments entirely at any time — existing reactions and approved comments remain visible.

How does team registration work?: Enable registration on any season from the admin panel (Leagues → season → Registration card). Set an optional deadline, max team capacity, and a welcome message. Share the registration link — teams fill in a short form with no account required. Review applications in the Pending tab: approve a team into a division (a club is created automatically) or reject with one click. Confirmation and rejection emails are sent automatically.
