Match Point Challenge
How it works

Pick winners. Earn points.

Every tournament, you predict who wins each match. Correct picks earn points, the harder the call the more they are worth, and every round doubles what is on the table.

The shape of it

Three things happen, every tournament.

The whole game is one loop. Enter, pick, watch the points land, then do it again next week.

1

Fill out the draw

Once the draw is confirmed, pick a winner for every first round match, then keep going round by round until you have named a champion.

2

Bank points per pick

Every correct pick pays. Backing a favourite pays the base rate. Calling an upset pays more, because it was harder to see.

3

Finish, then climb

Where you finish the tournament earns leaderboard points. Those roll into a season ranking that runs across the whole year.

Points per correct pick

Harder calls pay more.

These are first round values. The rate depends on how the two players were seeded, so an upset is always worth more than the obvious result.

1 Point

Correct match prediction (base points)

3 Points

Lower ranked player beats higher ranked player

Biggest pick
5 Points

Non-seeded player beats seeded player

Round multipliers

The deeper it lands, the more it pays.

A pick is worth its base value in the first round, then double that in the second, double again in the third, and so on to the final. The business end of the draw is where tournaments are won, which is exactly where the points are.

Shown for a 1 point pick in a 32 player draw. A 5 point upset scales the same way, and a Grand Slam adds two more rounds on top.

Round 1 base 1 pts
Round 2 x2 2 pts
Quarter-final x4 4 pts
Semi-final x8 8 pts
Final x16 16 pts
A worked example

One player, one draw, five picks.

Four right, one wrong. The wrong one costs nothing but the points it would have paid, and by then the multiplier has done the work.

R1 Backed the favourite Correct +1 1
R2 Called the upset Correct +10 11
QF Backed the favourite Wrong 0 11
SF Backed the favourite Correct +8 19
Final Called the champion Correct +16 35
Match points from this tournament 35
Points by finishing position

Then the tournament pays out.

Match points decide where you finish. Your finishing position earns the leaderboard points that move your season ranking. Bigger tournaments pay more, and every event counts.

Tied on match points? The leaderboard points are shared. Two players tied for first split the first and second place points evenly.

That is the whole game.

Pick a username and your first draw is waiting.
