How to publish and manage game and team pages

Public game and team pages give your league one place to share schedules, results, standings, and team context without sending families and players into the admin workspace.

Updated July 19, 2026

What public pages are

Game Axiom public pages are read-only views of selected league information. They are meant for people who need reliable season information but should not have administrative access.

A game page can show the matchup, date, time, field, status, and result. A team page can collect that team's schedule, results, standings context, and approved team information in one public place.

The important rule is simple: publish from the data you already manage in Game Axiom. Avoid maintaining a separate public schedule by hand unless your league has a specific temporary reason to do so.

Before you publish

Public pages work best after the season structure is in place. Before opening pages to visitors, confirm these pieces exist and are connected correctly.

  • A league or organization workspace has been created.
  • The season exists and has the divisions you plan to show.
  • Teams are assigned to the right divisions.
  • Games have been created or imported with dates, times, opponents, and venues.
  • Your public site or public league area is configured for the organization.

Where publishing fits in admin

Start in the admin workspace for the organization. Review the league, season, divisions, teams, and games that should appear publicly before you make anything visible to visitors.

  1. Open the admin workspace for the organization.
  2. Go to the public site settings for that league or season.
  3. Select the season and pages you want visitors to see.
  4. Publish the ready parts.
  5. Open the public page in a separate browser tab to confirm the visitor view.

Publish the season shell first, before schedules, scores, and team details are complete. Then open the public URL in a separate browser tab and confirm the visitor view looks right before sharing links widely. Publishing in stages means visitors see a page that is accurate but incomplete, rather than one that is wrong.

Choose what appears publicly

Season and division context

Publish only the season and divisions that are ready for families, players, coaches, and spectators to view.

Schedules, scores, and standings

Publish the schedule as soon as it is set, then let completed games, scores, and standings update from the same operational data your staff manages.

Team information

Keep team pages focused on information that should be public, such as team names, division placement, schedule, results, and approved public notes.

Do not publish private registration details, payments, internal admin notes, or sensitive participant information. Public pages should answer visitor questions without exposing back-office records.

Why some website sections are hidden

Some website sections are hidden on the public site until Game Axiom has real setup data for them. Editing copy alone will not publish those sections.

When setup data is missing, Game Axiom hides the whole public section instead of showing sample content, empty contact rows, dead buttons, or fake links.

Registration cards and registration CTAs

Appears on /registration and home page registration CTAs after Game Axiom has published registration offerings with member registration URLs.

Resource documents, guides, and important dates

Appears on /resources after Game Axiom has a product-backed resource upload/source model.

Contact, staff, office hours, and social links

Appears on /contact and resource contact blocks after Game Axiom has public contact fields supplied by product data.

Sponsor sections

Appears on home page sponsor sections after Game Axiom has a product-backed sponsor source model.

Venue directory sections

Appears on /schedules venue directory blocks after Game Axiom has published schedule locations or a product-backed venue directory.

Keep pages current

Schedule changes

When a game time, field, opponent, or status changes in Game Axiom, review the public page afterward so the change reads clearly to visitors.

Scores and standings

Enter or confirm results from the admin side. Public standings should reflect the same completed-game data that drives your league operations.

Team details

Update team names, division assignments, and public-facing team notes from the administrative team or season records before relying on the public page.

Unpublished and private states

Public pages have draft and live states. Keep a season in draft while staff are still building it, testing standings, or cleaning up imported data.

A private or unpublished state does not replace careful data handling. If something should never be public, keep it out of public-facing fields even while the page is hidden.

Unpublish or hide pages that are no longer ready

If something was published too early, go back to the same place you published it from and unpublish it. Then open the public URL in a private browser window and confirm what visitors can now see.

Shared links may show a not-found, unavailable, or updated public page after you unpublish content. Search engines may also keep an older result for a period of time before updating.

Troubleshooting

Why is a team or game missing from the public page?

Check that the team belongs to a published season and division, the game exists in that season, and the public site is showing that part of the league.

Why do standings look incomplete?

Standings depend on completed games and recorded results. Confirm that scores are entered, the game status is final, and the division rules match how you expect standings to be calculated.

Can I publish a schedule before scores are ready?

Yes. A public schedule can be useful before any game has been played. Scores and standings can appear later as games are completed and reviewed.

Why did a website section disappear after publishing?

Some website sections are hidden on the public site until Game Axiom has real setup data for them. Editing copy alone will not publish those sections.

What should stay private?

Keep internal notes, admin-only setup details, unpublished drafts, private contact information, payment records, and sensitive participant data out of public pages.
