Another important feature in Pitch is file sharing, also known as Competition Resources. This is where you can upload files for members of your competition to view.
There are three types of Competition Resources.
To upload a file, you can drag in one or multiple files from your file explorer, or you can click the box to select files.
Some sections also allow you to add Links as a resource. To add a link, select
in the relevant section, add a recognizable name for the link, and enter the URL.

This is the main type of resource for your competition. You can choose to upload a file or to add a link. Some examples of Resources you might choose to include are..
A file or link added to competition resources will be displayed on the Competition Dashboard for both prospective and current members of your competition. Judges can also access these files from their dashboard.
This is how the Rules file is displayed on the dashboard.
A Rules file is a special Competition Resource that will be displayed on the Competition Dashboard prominently for both prospective and current team members of your competition. It will have it's own link in the details section, as well as being listed first of all resources and having an extra emphasis. Judges will also have access to this file.
<aside> <img src="/icons/info-alternate_blue.svg" alt="/icons/info-alternate_blue.svg" width="40px" /> You can only upload one rules file. Making this file as comprehensive as possible will help competitors better understand the expectations for your competition.

The last type of Competition Resource is Judge-Only. These act exactly like Competition Resources, except that they will be accessible only to judges! Perhaps you need to provide judges with a guide for how to judge submissions- you don't want teams to have an advantage if they see that file!
Once added, Judges will be able to view files or links you've added to this section on their dashboard.
