Skoryd

Your club's public page

Every club has an About page — the page someone lands on when they find your club and haven't joined it yet. It's your shop window: what the club is, where you play, how to reach you, and what you're running.

You control how much of it is on show.

How people find it

Your club's name at the top of any club page is a link to the About page — including the top of an event page. So someone who finds one of your public tournaments in the tournament listing, opens it, and wonders who is running it can tap your club name and read about you. Members get there the same way, or from the club's own tabs.

A private club's About page is only visible to its own members and to anyone with a pending request, so on a private club the name isn't a link for anyone else.

What a visitor sees

A visitor gets up to three tabs:

  • About — always there. Your description, where you play, your organizers' contact details, your links, and a few headline numbers.
  • Public events — the events you've already made public. Appears only if you switch it on and have some.
  • Leaderboard — how your players are doing. Appears only if you switch it on.

Note

Members don't see the tabs — they get the About card on its own. That's deliberate: a member already has the club's own Events tab and its members-only stats page, both of which show far more. The tabs are for people on the outside.

The About tab

This one is always on. It shows your club's description, location, member count, and the date you joined Skoryd. Organizers who've opted in appear with their contact details — see Creating a club for how that works.

If your club runs cornhole, it also shows a couple of headline numbers: your members' average skill rating and their average points per round. The rating figure needs at least three members with an established rating before it appears at all — an average of one or two people would say more about them than about the club.

Note

Only members who've set their stats to public are counted, and the numbers name nobody. A player who's opted out of public stats isn't in them.

Showing your events

Settings → Public page → "Show our events on the club's About page"

This is on by default, because it publishes nothing that wasn't already public — a public tournament is already listed on the tournaments page for anyone to find.

What it adds is a home for them. Visitors get Open & upcoming and Past lists on your own page, which is especially worth having for a public league — those aren't listed anywhere else, so before this the only way in was a direct link.

Heads up

It can only ever narrow. The list is this setting and each event's own public/private setting, so turning it on cannot publish a private event. Your private events never appear here.

Showing a leaderboard

Settings → Public page → "Show a leaderboard on the club's About page"

This one is off by default, and you have to turn it on deliberately.

The reason is that a leaderboard publishes something the rest of the page doesn't: who plays at your club. That's an affiliation, and it's a different question from whether a given player's numbers are public — so it's your call, made on purpose, rather than something that happens because a default was left alone.

Turned on, visitors get the same board your members see: every sport you run, season and division filters, search, and the full stats table — not a top-ten teaser.

Heads up

It can only ever narrow, too. Only players who set their own stats to public are listed. Anyone who chose private or club-only never appears, whatever you set here. Both switches have to be on for a player to show up.

Settings has fields for your Website, Instagram and Facebook.

There's no separate switch for these — filling one in publishes it, clearing it takes it down. They're facts about the club, not about a person, so they don't need anyone's permission but yours.

Tip

Paste the full address, including https://. If it isn't a valid web address it won't save, and you'll see why straight away rather than finding a dead link on your page later.

Making sure people can find it

Your club has to be Public for any of this to be reachable — a private club is joined by code or invite link, and its page is only visible to people already connected to it. You'll find that under Settings → Visibility.

A public club is listed in the club directory, so players browsing for somewhere to play can find you, read the page, and request to join from it.

Tip

Worth doing once, properly: a club with a description, a location, a logo and its events on show reads like somewhere that is actually running — and that's the difference between someone requesting to join and someone moving on.
