[Volleyball Widgets](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/features?hsLang=en#volleyball-widgets) # Volleyball Knockout Widget ## Add a volleyball knockout bracket to a post. The **Knockout** widget shows the elimination rounds of a volleyball competition stage as a bracket, so readers can follow how ties progress. The fastest way to add a Volleyball widget: select the **Volleyball** icon in the quick-add row below the article body — no need to open the full block picker and search a category list. ### Preconditions - Your project must have the Volleyball feature enabled. Widget categories are switched on per project, so if **Volleyball widgets** does not appear in the block picker, ask your administrator to enable it. - You need permission to create or edit articles. - The stage you choose must be a knockout stage. Group stages have no bracket to draw. ### Adding the Volleyball Knockout Widget to a post To set up the widget: 1. Open an article for editing, or create a new one. 2. Below the blocks in the article body is a row of quick-add buttons: the content blocks first, then one icon for each sport enabled on your project, then **+**. Hover an icon to see its name — the **Volleyball** icon is hovered here. ![The quick-add row below the article body: content-block buttons, then one icon for each sport enabled on this project, then +. The Volleyball icon is hovered and shows its name.](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.0/widgets/volleyball/knockout/01-sport-icons.png?width=683&name=01-sport-icons.png) 3. Select the **Volleyball** icon, then choose **Knockout** from the widget list that opens. ![The Volleyball widgets list opened from the sport icon, with Knockout among its widgets.](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.0/widgets/volleyball/knockout/02-widget-list.png?width=421&name=02-widget-list.png) 4. Set the widget options. **Competition**, **Season** and **Stage** control what it shows. ![The Knockout options panel as it first opens.](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.0/widgets/volleyball/knockout/03-options-panel.png?width=651&name=03-options-panel.png) 5. Check the options are the ones you want. Some fields depend on others, so a list can be empty until you set the field above it. ![The Knockout options panel with its fields set.](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.0/widgets/volleyball/knockout/04-options-configured.png?width=651&name=04-options-configured.png) 6. When done, select **Save block**. ![The saved Knockout widget block in the article body.](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.0/widgets/volleyball/knockout/05-saved-block.png?width=683&name=05-saved-block.png) 7. Hover the saved block. Of the controls that appear (**Copy embed code**, **Preview**, **Edit** and **Remove**), select **Preview** to see the real widget. ### Volleyball Knockout Widget options - **Competition** *(required)* — The competition whose data you want to show. The panel opens with one already selected; replace it with the one you want. - **Season** — The season within the chosen competition. Options depend on which competition you selected above. - **Stage** — Limits the widget to a single stage of the competition, such as a group phase or a knockout round. - **Refresh time** — Controls how often the published widget refetches its data. Leave empty to use your project’s global refresh setting. ### What the Volleyball Knockout Widget shows Each tie in the bracket shows: - **Teams** — the two sides: the teams contesting the tie - **Score** — sets won: sets won by each side, deciding who advances ### Preview of the Volleyball Knockout Widget The widget draws the bracket for the stage you selected, round by round. If no games are recorded for the stage you chose, the widget shows “No games for the selected playoff” instead of a bracket. ![The Volleyball Knockout widget rendered in the CMS preview. The widget draws the bracket for the stage you selected, round by round.](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.0/widgets/volleyball/knockout/06-preview.png?width=671&name=06-preview.png) ### Good to know Only the preview shows the real widget. The collapsed block and the options panel show a CMS summary card instead — always check preview before publishing. - The preview area is narrower than a published page, so the widget uses its compact layout there and may hide columns that the published version shows. - The widget always renders whichever version of the sports widgets library your project is on. There is no version to set. - [Introduction to Sportal365](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/introduction-to-sportal365?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Concept](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/introduction-to-sportal365?hsLang=en#concept) -
