A tournament can be customized with different graphics to change its appearance.
Appearance
Thumbnail
The thumbnail you choose for your tournament or ladder is what players see first when browsing for competitions on Challengermode. Like with most things, a good first impression can mean the difference between a player clicking on your tournament or not
⛔️ What to avoid:
- Non-tournament related elements
- Small graphical elements
- Small text
- Too much information
💚 Wins:
- Put your logo front-and-center
- Use your brands/logos main color
- Include the prize pool
- Using bolder fonts
- Be consistent with your designs
Banner
The banner is displayed at the top of the tournament page and will be visible in all the tournament tabs, e.g brackets, matches, and teams. The banner acts as a background image that should give tournaments the look and feel of your community, organization, or brand.
⛔️ What to avoid:
- Logos at the bottom of the banner
- Too many logos (instead, upload your organization logo separately and add any sponsors logo in the Sponsors section)
- Tournament details
- Social media links
💚 Wins:
- Use your brands/logos main color
- Get creative with your branding
Logo
The logo appears on the upper left part of the page when the Tournament Overview tab is being displayed, as well as in lists and notifications about the competition.
