Publish & share · The public hub

Your competition's public home

The public hub is the page you share with athletes and spectators. It has a friendly URL, updates live during the event, and only ever shows what you choose to publish. This page explains how it's structured and how to set it up.

Hub vs. competition

The competition is your private workspace where you manage categories, import athletes, and run scoring. The hub is the public page you share with athletes and spectators. You build and score in one; the public sees the other.

Competition (private)

Where you set up categories and routes, import athletes, and let judges enter scores. Each discipline has its own competition. Draft data never leaves this view.

Public hub (shared)

The page at a friendly URL like griprank.com/c/your-event. It only ever shows what you have explicitly published, and it is the page athletes, parents, and spectators actually open on their phones.

Note

You create one hub per competition, and the link is permanent once set. Draft data never reaches the public page — the hub only renders what you have published.

Hub management

Create and link a hub

A hub is created from Hub Management. You choose its URL slug, link it to one competition, and pick up from the hub admin area for everything else.

1Open griprank.com/admin/hub and start a new hub.
2Choose a hub ID. It is the URL slug for the public page, so keep it short, lowercase, and recognisable (for example the event name and year). The rules: 4 to 50 characters, lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens, must start and end with a letter or digit, and must be unique across GripRank.
3Select the competition this hub will serve. A hub is permanently tied to exactly one competition at creation, so pick the right one.
4Add a display title if you want the public header to read differently from the hub ID.

Tip

After creation, manage the hub from its own admin area at /c/<hubId>/admin. That is where you fill in event info, set the schedule, configure registration, and publish.

What athletes and spectators see

The public page is mobile-first — most athletes will open it on their phones. It has four tabs across the bottom.

Heats

The default landing tab. Shows the event overview, current startlists, and live progress as rounds are running.

Results

The leaderboard, ranked by points then tops then zones. Updates as judges save.

Schedule

Day-by-day schedule with check-in, briefings, isolation windows, rounds, ceremonies, and breaks — anything you have added to the schedule.

Quick links to the start list, rules, recap, and event info (venue, contact, social links).

Note

You can deep-link to specific views with query parameters: append ?tab=results, ?category=…, ?round=…, and ?day=… to a hub URL. Useful when you want to share a link straight to a particular category's results.

Event info and schedule

Headline details (venue, contact, dates) and the day-by-day schedule are filled in from the hub admin area. They appear on the public page's Schedule and More tabs.

1Open the hub admin area and switch to the Event Info tab. Fill in event name, venue, address, organiser contact, dates, and any social or livestream links you want surfaced.
2Switch to the Schedule tab and add the items competitors need to see: check-in windows, briefings, isolation opens/closes, rounds, ceremonies, breaks. Times use the venue timezone you set on the competition.
3Save after each set of changes. The public page picks up the next published version — you control when that happens on the publishing page.
4Refresh the public page in a normal browser tab and confirm the new info actually shows. Public pages can be cached briefly; a hard refresh is fine for testing.

Hub management

Readiness check before going public

Before you flip the hub from Draft to Published, run the Readiness + Health tab. It is the pre-flight check that catches the small things you forgot to fill in.

What it surfaces

Missing event info, broken linkages between the hub and its competition, unpublished categories, and configuration gaps. It also tells you whether the hub is currently draft or published.

How to act on it

Fix every flagged item before publishing. The check is a one-shot snapshot, not continuous — re-run it after any change you make so you know you are seeing fresh results.

Tip

When the Readiness + Health tab is clean, you are ready to publish. The next page — Publishing & freezing — covers manual publish, auto-publish, and freezing final standings.
