Quickstart — your first hub in 10 minutes

This guide walks you through creating your first Fanzava hub, setting up a tipping competition, and getting participants in the door.

Step 1 — Create your hub

Section titled “Step 1 — Create your hub”
  1. Sign in at signup.fanzava.com
  2. Click Create hub
  3. Enter your hub name and choose a subdomain (e.g. acme.fanzava.com)
  4. Select your plan — you can start on Free and upgrade later

Your hub is created immediately and you’re taken to the admin dashboard.

Step 2 — Apply your branding

Section titled “Step 2 — Apply your branding”

Go to Admin → Branding:

  1. Upload your logo (PNG or SVG, at least 200px wide)
  2. Set your primary colour — Fanzava generates a full accessible palette from it
  3. Choose dark or light mode default
  4. Optionally set your brand name for the email sender

Changes preview live in the admin. Your participants will only ever see your logo and colours.

Step 3 — Create a competition

Section titled “Step 3 — Create a competition”

Go to Admin → Competitions → New competition:

  1. Choose a sport (AFL, NRL, EPL, NFL, NBA, MLB, F1, cricket, or custom)
  2. Select the season and league
  3. Configure scoring — the defaults work well for most organisations
  4. Set a name and optional description
  5. Click Create

Fanzava imports the fixture schedule automatically from the sports data feed.

Step 4 — Invite participants

Section titled “Step 4 — Invite participants”

Go to Admin → Participants → Invite:

  • Email invite — enter addresses individually or paste a CSV list
  • Invite link — share a unique link; anyone with it can join your hub
  • SSO — on Enterprise plans, participants authenticate through your identity provider

Invited participants receive a branded email from your hub with a direct join link.

Step 5 — Watch the leaderboard fill up

Section titled “Step 5 — Watch the leaderboard fill up”

Once participants have joined and the first round kicks off, tips flow in and the leaderboard updates automatically after each match result is confirmed.
