Put the link where your players and fans already are, a team chat, an event page, a posted sign with a short address. The more places it appears, the more people follow.

A great bracket link no one can find helps nobody.

Make it work on a phone

Most people will open the bracket on a phone at the venue. A link that displays cleanly on a small screen is essential, not a nice-to-have. Related: Why Does a Consolation Bracket Keep Eliminated Teams at the Venue Longer?

Keep the same link all event

A single living link beats a stream of new ones every round.
