Bracket on a TV or projector: Spectator mode
At an event players and spectators keep asking who is next and how other matches went. It is easier to put the bracket on a TV in the hall once and enter scores from a phone — the screen updates by itself.

How to turn it on
Open the tournament on a computer connected to a TV or projector and press “Spectator”. The bracket goes full screen: no menus, buttons or other page elements, just the tournament name and the bracket.
Fit to the screen
HoneyCup picks the zoom so the whole bracket fits on screen — from an 8-player knockout to a 32-player double elimination. The zoom is recalculated when the resolution changes or the screen rotates.
If the browser has no full-screen mode
Some browsers, such as on iPhone, do not support full screen for web pages. Then Spectator expands the bracket to the whole browser window, with a close cross in the corner.
Setting up the hall
- Connect a laptop or mini PC to the TV or projector.
- Open the tournament page and press “Spectator”.
- Enter scores from your phone — the screen in the hall updates by itself.
