Event Announcements & Alerts

Announcements let you post updates, messages, and alerts that everyone viewing the event can see — no email or push notification is sent; participants and spectators see them by visiting the event's public "Updates" page.

Fields When Creating an Announcement

• Title — a short headline for the announcement
• Type — Message, Update, or Alert (changes the icon and color shown to readers: blue for Message, green for Update, amber for Alert)
• Content — the full message body, written with a rich-text editor (supports formatting like bold, lists, and links)

There's no option to target specific divisions, set an expiration date, or schedule a send time — an announcement applies to the whole event and stays visible until it's edited or deleted.

Steps to Post an Announcement

1. 1

   Go to your event's Announcements page

   In the management dashboard.

2. 2

   Click "Add Announcement"

3. 3

   Fill in the details

   Enter a title, choose a type (Message, Update, or Alert), and write your content.

4. 4

   Click "Add Announcement" to publish

   It goes live immediately.

Existing announcements can be edited or deleted at any time from the same page; edits update the "last updated" timestamp shown to readers.

Where They Appear

Published announcements show up in two places on the public event site — the dedicated "Updates" page (listing all announcements, newest first) and the "Game Day" section on the event's main page, which highlights only the single most recent announcement as a quick preview with a link to the full Updates page.
