Clubs and club logos

Live keeps no club registry of its own — so getting a badge onto your rows happens in another product.

Club pages

Every competition has a clubs tab listing each club entered, with how many runners it has, largest first. Opening one gives you that club's runners across every class it is entered in — grouped by class, in the competition's own class order, and ordered by place within each group.

Each group carries the whole class behind it, even though only the club's runners are shown. Placings, split ranks and time behind are therefore measured against the full field, exactly as they are on the class page.

Club pages update like class pages

The entry index gives the classes the club has runners in — usually a handful rather than the whole competition — and only those are subscribed, through the same shared queries every other view uses. Opening a member's class from the club page adds no requests.

Where the logo comes from

A club logo appears beside a runner's club name when Routster has one on file. Live reads the platform club registry directly — the same table Prepare and Analyse write to — and keeps no copy of its own.

Two conditions have to hold for a badge to appear:

The club exists in the registry and has been approved by a Routster administrator. Unapproved clubs are filtered out entirely.
The club has a logo set. A club with a row but no logo renders nothing — not a placeholder glyph, not initials.

Matching is on the club name with any relay team suffix stripped, so "Täby OK 2" and "Täby OK 3" both resolve to "Täby OK". The registered name has to match the name the timing system prints: a club entered upstream under an abbreviation and registered here under its full name gets no badge.

Getting your club a logo

The club registry is written from Prepare and Analyse. Either works; they share one database and one moderation queue.

Step 1. Request the club

On the Clubs page in Prepare or Analyse, search for your club first — most Swedish clubs are already registered. If it genuinely is not there, submit a club request with its name and a short description. A platform administrator is notified by email.

Step 2. Wait for approval

A club is created by an administrator from your request. A row inserted directly would land unapproved — filtered out of every read — and with no administrator, so both products post a request instead.

Step 3. Upload the logo, as a club admin

Open the club page in Prepare or Analyse and upload the logo. Only club admins can: the storage rules restrict writes to admins of that club, and the control is not shown to members.

Step 4. Wait for Live to pick it up

Live caches the club registry for about half an hour, so a new logo can take that long to appear. A fresh tab picks it up immediately.

What makes a good club logo

It is drawn at 16 px beside a name in a results table, on white, scaled to fit rather than cropped, with no ring or shadow. A club's own mark is never recoloured.

Do	Avoid
A square or near-square crop	A wide banner — it shrinks to an illegible sliver
Solid shapes that survive at 16 px	Fine lines and small lettering
A transparent or white background	A dark background, which will sit on a white tile
PNG, under 4 MB	A photograph of a printed logo

The uploader in Prepare offers a cropper, which is the easier route if your source file is not already square.

One registry, three products

Changing a club's logo changes it in Live's result rows, Analyse's club pages and event listings, and Prepare's club leaderboards. It is also what the club logo marker style in Analyse draws on the map. There is no per-product override.

Following your own club

There is no "my club" setting. Open the competition, go to the clubs tab and pick yours, or reach the same page from any club-mate's row. To follow the same people every weekend, favourite them: that works across competitions without knowing which race they entered.
