# Custom links

Custom links are short, easy-to-remember links that point to a tournament, series or user profile.

When you create a custom link you pick a word or short phrase along with a destination for that link, for example a tournament. People can then go to that destination by going to `https://matchplay.live/` followed by the phrase you entered. For example, if your phrase is `my-tournament` people will be able to go to the destination you picked by going to `https://matchplay.live/my-tournament`.

## Custom link destinations

Custom links can point to a variety of destinations.

**Specific tournament**

The custom link will send people to a specific tournament you pick.

**Specific series**

The custom link will send people to a specific series you pick.

**Automatic to newest tournament**

The custom link will send people to the newest tournament organized by you. Using this feature, you can have one easy-to-remember link that never changes but always sends people to your tournament.

**Automatic to newest series**

Works just like above, but will send people to the newest series organized by you.

**Your user profile**

The custom link will send people to your user profile.

## Where to create custom links

There are three ways to create custom links:

**From a tournament**

If you have opened a tournament and want to create a custom link for it, go the **Overview** tab and click the **Create link** link in the sidebar under the **Custom link** heading.

**From a series**

If you have opened a series and want to create a custom link for it, go the **Configuration** tab and click the **Create link** link under the **Custom link** heading.

From the main menu

Open the main menu and click on the **Custom links** menu option. This will show you all custom links you've created. Click the **Add custom link** button to create a custom link.

## Custom link QR codes

Custom links all come with a QR code. On the **Custom links** page, click the **QR code** link. From a tournament or series, click the link itself to show the QR code. You can copy or print this QR code if you need it for a flyer or other advertising.
