Game rules

Winner

The rules to determine the winner vary per sport and can be adjusted by the club. You will find the rules in every match email.

The winner registers the score.

Ranking

At the end of each round we process the matches to determine your new position using the following rules:

You switch positions if you win against someone that is higher on the ranking.
You drop one spot if you cancel a match or if you skip two rounds in a row.
Your profile is removed from the ranking if you cancel all your matches two rounds in a row.

New players

Players can join anytime, and their starting position is based on their play level. Thereafter, only match results matter.

You only drop one spot if you won at least one match in previous rounds and you lose from a player that has not lost any matches.

Multiple matches per round

If you play two or more matches in a round, the results may contradict eachother. For example, you win against #10 but you lose lose against #20. Your next position will be in between your highest win and your lowest loss (#15). If there are 3 or more conflicting match results in the same round, your next position is calculated using all match results. For example, if you win against #10 and #11 and you lose against #20, your next position will be around #13.

Same position

It can happen that two players end up in the same position. For example, if #13 wins from #8 and #5 loses from #8, both #5 and #13 end up at position #8. In this case we look at:

The result of a match between these players, if any.
The results of matches with a common third player, if any.
Otherwise, the player with the current higher position has priority.

Frequently asked questions

+ How are my matches set up?

We look at your last 2 match results to determine your 'ideal' opponent. If you win twice in a row from a lower player lower, you will get the highest priority to play a higher opponent in the following round. We also make sure you don't play someone that you have played with recently.

+ How do I skip rounds?

Make sure you are logged in, go to settings, click on the pause button and select the rounds you want to skip.

+ Can I register the results of a previous round?

Please send us the match details including the name of the players and the club. We will include the results at the end of the current round.

+ What if the other player is on holiday or injured?

You can postpone a match if both players agree by registering the planned match date. Otherwise, register 'cancel match' and select the other player. The other player drops 1 spot.

+ What if a player becomes injured during the match?

You can continue the match at a later date if both players agree. Otherwise, the injured player cancels the match and loses points.

+ What if the other player is not responding?

Click on 'My matches' and 'Cancel', then select the other player. The other player drops 1 spot.

+ What if the match is not planned or registered on time?

If the match has not been planned or registered in time, we assume the first listed player has canceled. Try to prevent this by connecting with the other player before it is too late.

+ What if a player is unable to play on the proposed day?

You can postpone a match if both players agree by registering the planned match date. Otherwise register 'Canceled' and select the other player, but try to be flexible when finding a common day.

You may expect the former player to send a match invite at least 3 days (72 hours) in advance of the proposed day. The former player may expect the other player to respond within 2 days (48 hours) after sending a proposal.

+ What if we both cannot play on the proposed day (e.g. Tuesday evening) and we cannot play an alternative day?

You can postpone a match if both players agree by registering the planned match date. Otherwise register 'Cancel' and then select 'both players'.

+ Can I challenge a player?

Only results of official matches are counted towards your position. Results of other matches that are initiated by players can not be registered.

If you want to play more often, you can update your settings to play twice per round of 2 weeks.

+ What is a suitable day to play the match?

A suitable proposal for planning the match is:

The suggestion in the match email, or any of the days that the other player is available
At least 3 days from today, for example: On Thursday night you suggest to play on Sunday morning
Not later than 3 days after the end of the round in which the match was organised

You can also jointly agree on any other day!
