The time frame for delivering results after a game or tournament can vary based on your workflow and service offerings, but typically:

1. Event Coverage: If you're shooting a tournament or large event, you can expect to provide initial highlights or key moments within 24-48 hours after the event. These might be shared via social media, email newsletters, or a client portal.

2. Action Shots: For standard action shots, it typically takes around 3-5 days for you to edit and deliver a final set of photos. If you're offering expedited editing, you could aim for 24-48 hours for quicker turnaround.

3. Team/Individual Portraits: For posed shots or formal team photos, you may need a week or two to complete all post-production work, especially if there are a large number of individuals to process.

4. Custom Prints and Albums: If clients order prints or photo books, you might need 5-7 business days for production and delivery, depending on the complexity of the order.

5. Online Galleries: If you offer an online gallery for ordering prints, most galleries will be up and running within 3-5 days, with clients able to view and order images in high resolution.
