Sponsored Event Program

Stock a qualifying package, get a sponsored day

Coming Soon

Retailers who order a qualifying High Noon stock package receive a sponsored tournament day — flagged and provisioned by us. Everyone else self-funds. It's built on the same infrastructure; “sponsored” is a flag on the league that unlocks a badge now and fulfillment logic later. This is the lever that ties Organized Play directly to wholesale orders.

The Problem

Organized Play drives foot traffic and repeat sales — but on its own it doesn't tell a retailer why to place a bigger opening order. There needs to be a concrete, mechanical reason that stocking more High Noon pays the store back in a way they can see.

At the same time, we can't sponsor everyone. Sponsored days cost real money and product, so the platform has to distinguish a store that earned a sponsored event (by ordering a qualifying package) from a store that's simply self-funding its own league.

That distinction can't be a spreadsheet we maintain by hand. It has to be a first-class flag on the league that the product respects — unlocking perks now and driving fulfillment logic as the program matures.

Sponsorship As A Flag

The same infra, gated by a single earned attribute.

Qualifying-order tie-in

A store that orders a qualifying High Noon stock package earns a sponsored tournament day. The wholesale order is the trigger — Organized Play becomes a reason to stock deeper.

Sponsored flag on the league

'Sponsored' is a first-class attribute on the tenant, not a side spreadsheet. The product reads it directly, so perks and fulfillment logic hang off one honest source.

Badge now, logic later

In v1 the flag lights a sponsored badge on the board. As the program grows, the same flag drives provisioning, prize funding, and fulfillment automatically.

Build Phases

Not yet built. Here's the staged path from badge to full fulfillment.

S1 Next Up

Sponsored flag + badge

  • Add a 'sponsored' attribute to the league model.
  • Render a sponsored badge on the public board and TV view.
  • Admin / internal toggle to mark a store sponsored on a qualifying order.
S2 Later

Order linkage

  • Connect the sponsored flag to the actual wholesale order record so it's earned, not hand-set.
  • Define qualifying package tiers and the sponsored-day entitlement each unlocks.
S3 Later

Fulfillment logic

  • Auto-provision the sponsored event (date, prize funding, kit) from the flag.
  • Reporting so we can see sponsored days run and their sell-through impact.

Status

Origin: Organized Play needs a mechanical reason to place a bigger wholesale order. Sponsored days reward stores that stock the qualifying package.

Prereqs: None blocking for v1 — the flag + badge ride the existing multi-tenant engine. Order linkage depends on a wholesale order record to point at.

Status: Designed and on the roadmap, no production code yet. S1 (flag + badge) is the near-term piece; S2/S3 wire it to real orders and fulfillment.
