The graphic header on the Web site was established when your tournament site was first set up. It contains your tournament logo, name and the web site address. This was part of the complimentary Web site set up done done initially.

Because it also serves to help identify the TourneyCentral brand, we reserve the function of creating it and making all changes. We will pass the header by the tournament director for approval, but the overall quality and integrity of the design must meet our standards of quality, usability and element placement.

The graphic header, along with the set up of your tournament site including your domain, is done as a one-time set up free of charge. While all other software updates and upgrades are always free, graphic changes are not. We urge you to consider the headers with the long-term viability of your tournament in mind or budget for annual changes.

Clickable Logos:
We do not allow clickable logo in the header, partly for design reasons, party for technical reasons and partly to establish value within the sidebar and DEALS areas for you.

Yearly Logo Changes:
We STRONGLY recommend that the logo you choose for your header graphic communicates the tournament as one that is stable year to year. While you may have a new shirt design or event logo each year, the logo you choose for your Web site should be one that is static from year to year.

However, we recognize that some events have strong feeling about changing out the logo every year and we allow for that. In your User Agreement, there is an hourly charge for graphic changes, minimum one hour per approval cycle. Our preferred format — and one that will save you hours of design charges — is as an Adobe Illustrator vector file, with layers in tact. The next preferred is an Adobe Photoshop file with layers. We can work with jpg files, but they should be large and have a minimum of drop shadows and small type. The more time we spend stripping away a background, the more expensive it will be.

Yearly Logo Change Options:
The free options available to you to display your yearly logo on your site are:
– Include the logo as a Major Sponsor in the Advertising Area so that it rotates in the sponsor area on the front page.
– Include it as a photo and turn on your featured space as Photos instead of Ads
– Set the design to permanently display in the feature space by checking “Display Graphic”
Be sure to upload your shirt design first. All of this is done in the Web Site Maintenance Module.
