I got a link. What is it, and do I need to install anything?
No install and no account. The link opens the tournament’s public page in any browser — it shows the ranking and the matches, and refreshes on its own every time the organizer saves a score.
In 30 seconds
- The page has two tabs: Ranking and Matches. That’s it — no login, no password, no sign-up.
- While the tournament is running, nobody gets a medal. The 🥇🥈🥉 podium only appears after the end.
- The page translates itself to your phone’s language: Portuguese, English, Spanish, or Italian.
What the page shows
-
1
The top
Tournament name, date, city and a status badge: Live while the tournament runs, Finished afterward, Coming soon if it hasn’t started. “Live” means the ranking and scores update the moment the organizer saves — you don’t need to reload.
-
2
The progress bar
Right under the name, while the tournament runs: “12 of 14 matches · 86%”. It’s the quickest way to know if you can still swing by for the finish.
-
3
Ranking tab
The full standings, 1st through last: position, name, wins and losses, game balance and points. In a Fixed Pairs tournament the list is by pair; in Americano it’s by player (what each abbreviation means).
-
4
Matches tab
The matches in two lists: Completed, with the score and the winner highlighted, and Up next, with a dash where the score goes.
-
5
After the end
The same page becomes the official result: champion card with a trophy, podium with medals on steps, and the full ranking below. The link keeps working — you can reopen it months later.
-

If you have the app installed
Tapping the link opens a screen inside the app, labeled Spectator mode · Read only — you follow the tournament without mixing it into your own. And the page’s Share button passes the same link along to whoever you want.
What goes wrong here
- “Tournament not found or link expired.” — the link arrived incomplete or with a typo. Ask for it to be resent and open it by tapping it directly, not retyping it.
- “Invalid link or tournament not found.” — the address is missing the tournament code. The right link ends in /t/ followed by a 10-character code of letters and numbers.
- “Connection error. Reload the page.” — the internet dropped mid-load. Reload when the signal comes back.
- No medals or podium showing — not a bug. The tournament isn’t over yet; until then the list is partial standings, numbers only.
- The page opened in another language — it follows your phone’s browser language, not the organizer’s. Change the device language and reload.
Why it works this way
The code at the end of the link is 10 characters long and is the page’s only key: whoever has the link sees the tournament, and only sees it — there’s no entering scores, no editing anything, no digging up anyone’s phone number from there. The code’s alphabet leaves out the letters and digits that get confused when someone reads it out loud (I, L, O, U, 0 and 1), so you can even pass it over the phone. And the page hides medals and the podium on purpose while any match is still open: the app refuses to suggest a champion while the contest is still running.
