The Event Design & Info section allows you to shape the visual identity and informational content of your event as it appears in the RUFUS Event App.
Everything you configure here helps athletes understand your event, builds trust and excitement, and—when applicable—contributes to automatic diploma generation (indicated by a blue ⚡ icon).
This section is organized into four major areas:
- Event banner & logo ⚡
- Event location & dates
- Registration information
- Event Info tab (rich content, video, sponsors ⚡, organizer details)
Each area is described in detail below.
Event Banner & Logo ⚡
This is where you upload the main visual elements that represent your event. These assets appear at the top of your public event page inside the RUFUS Event App.
Features
