Championship Microtheme

The Championship microtheme is one of the most widely used microthemes across the PrestoSports platform. It is designed specifically for high-visibility events such as tournaments, championships, postseason play, showcases, and seasonal hubs. The theme provides a bold visual structure emphasizing hero media, scoreboards, schedules, featured headlines, participating teams, press information, and sponsor recognition.

theme.cssandsite.css.header - Defines the microtheme’s navigation, micro-logo, header links, full-site link, and top advertisements.
footer - Handles sponsor carousels, footer details, social links, copyright, and privacy.
layout-micro - Controls the content sections used within the Championship landing page (hero, banners, tabs, teams carousels, more info sections, etc.). This layout must be defined on a rich article file within the designated microsite’s section.
site.css - This predefined site.css can be placed at the root of the microsite and used to create site specfiic styles that are isolated tot he microsite itself. It should reside within the root of the microsite as well.
themes.css - The defined styles associated with everything the microtheme has to offer. Ths file should never be placed on an individual site.
Each file contributes specific functionality to the microsite and should be understood individually.
