Meet the Widgets
Every tournament created on Toornament.com comes with its widgets for you to use. There are currently four different ones, that all have a specific purpose.
Resizable and available in 7 languages, they can all be added with a single line of HTML code to any website, for you to easily display all information to any passer-by!
The Registration Widget
Available in Dark or Light mode, this widget is a simple button allowing you to redirect wanna-be participants to your tournament for them to register:
The Tournament Widget
This generic widget evolves as the tournament goes, to display information before it starts, latest and upcoming matches during the event, and the Winner when the tournament is over. No further action is required on your side, as it automatically updates as the status of the tournament changes.
The Stage Widget
You may choose any stage of your tournament to get displayed with this widget. Display will then depend on the type of stage selected, but it can accomodate any kind of stage!
The Schedule Widget
Use this one to display your detailed match schedule!
On your website!
As stated before, including one of our widgets on your website only requires you to add a single line of HTML, that is automatically generated under the “Share” menu, both in the Organizer Dashboard and the Public Pages of the tournament. Width and Height can be changed to accomodate the display you wish to provide to your audience, and the result is awesome:
Meet the Toornament TV
All tournaments created on Toornament.com come with their own version of our smart TV, which is a dynamically updated display of the relevant tournament information.
It was tailor-made for offline tournaments involving multiple spots (gaming zone, stages…) and public audience.
Tournament TV is a smart, automated public display solution, designed with this key goals in mind :
- Better understanding of the tournament(s) advancement
- Dresses up your event with live content : photos, info strips, scores
- Keeps the visitor informed, entertained and starving for more
It is also a great resource for livestreaming, to display information in between matches for your audience to see.
How does the Toornament TV works ? Well, it can’t get easier than this : the whole system is automated. We’ve designed a smart behaviour, setting a wide and relevant set of rules, so that the TV makes the right decisions and displays the right info at the right time.
The added value is huge : for no extra time or people in your team, your event gets much easier to understand and follow. And much prettier, too !
The TV customization menu is accessible from the “Share” menu in the Organizer Dashboard, to set your own logos, colors and overlay, as can be seen with those custom TVs from Quakecon 2017:
And here it is, in situation, with a photo taken during the event:
