Match Point Challenge
FAQs

Questions, answered.

How picks work, how points are scored, which tournaments you can play, and what happens to your account. If something is missing, ask us.

Getting started

What is Match Point Challenge?

It is a tennis prediction game. You pick the winner of every match in a tournament, earn points for the ones you call right, and climb a global ranking that runs across the season.

Is it free to play?

Yes, and the whole game is free. Everyone gets the same tournaments and the same shot at Legend. Premium is optional and adds side features. Unlock achievements and you earn free Premium time, and Legends get it for life.

Is this gambling?

No. There is no wagering, no stake and no payment to play. It is your tennis knowledge against everyone else's.

How do I sign up?

Choose Play free, pick a username, and verify your email. It takes about thirty seconds and there are no payment details.

Making picks

How do I make a pick?

Open a tournament that is accepting picks and choose the player you think will win each match. Keep going round by round until you have named a champion.

Can I change my picks?

Yes, as many times as you like until the match begins. Your last selection before the start is the one that counts.

What is the deadline?

Each match has its own deadline, which is the moment that match starts. Picking early is the safest way to avoid missing one.

What if a player withdraws or retires?

If a player withdraws before play begins, their spot becomes a bye and that match scores nothing. Once play has started, a walkover or a mid-match retirement counts as a win for the player who advances, and picks score as normal.

Scoring and points

How does scoring work?

Harder calls pay more, and every pick doubles in value each round: a second round pick counts double, a third round pick counts four times, all the way to the final. How it works has the full breakdown.

Do I have to play every tournament?

You do not have to, but it helps. Leaderboard points add up across the whole season and there is no best-of cut, so every event you enter adds to your total.

How are ties broken?

Standings go on total points first. If players are level, the aces tiebreaker decides it: whoever came closest to the tournament's total aces ranks higher, then most correct picks.

Tournaments and levels

Which tournaments can I play?

Every ATP event on the calendar, from the 250s up to the Masters 1000s and all four Grand Slams, January to November.

How do I unlock achievements?

Win titles, hold streaks and chase the Perfect Bracket. Many achievements pay out free Premium time. Rankings and levels lists every one.

What is Legend status?

The top of the climb. Take every required title and achievement and you become a Legend: Premium for life, a €10,000 prize, an exclusive badge and a place in the Hall of Fame.

Leagues and rivalries

What are private leagues?

Your own leaderboard for friends, family, the club or the office, running alongside the global one. Same tournaments, separate table, an annual winner.

What are rivalries?

A head to head between you and one other player: a private table for two. If a third person joins, it becomes a league.

How do I create or join one?

Open the Compete page and create a league to get a share code, start a rivalry to challenge one player, or enter a code from a friend to join theirs.
