Tournament hubs make draws, groups and knockout routes easier to follow
Competition hubs should connect formats, fixtures, tables, draws, qualifiers and match reports.
Why hubs matter
Tournament coverage becomes hard to follow when draws, groups, fixtures, qualification rules and reports are separated. A hub gives readers one route through the competition.
What to include
A tournament hub should include format, calendar, tables, knockout route, key teams, rules and links to match coverage.
Source rule
Official competition pages should be the reference for formats, draws, fixtures and disciplinary information.
