Scoring

Make picks by clicking players in the draw, and remove picks by holding shift and clicking a previous pick. You must save your picks by clicking "Save" or ctrl+s.

Matches lock once they start. You can pick matches until they start, even for future rounds. This means if you miss picks in the first round, you can still pick matches in the second round until they start.

Chain Scoring

Bracket Tennis uses chain scoring, which rewards you for correctly picking a player across consecutive rounds.

Each correct pick is worth its place in that player's current run of consecutive correct picks. The longer the run, the more each pick is worth:

  • 1st correct pick in chain: 1 point
  • 2nd consecutive correct pick: 2 points
  • 3rd consecutive correct pick: 3 points
  • 4th consecutive correct pick: 4 points
  • ...and so on

For example, if you correctly pick a player to win Rounds 1 through 4, you earn 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10 points for that player.

Missing one of a player's wins breaks the chain — but it doesn't end it. Say a player wins Rounds 1 through 4, and you picked them in Rounds 1, 3 and 4 but backed their opponent in Round 2. You earn 1 point for Round 1, nothing for Round 2, and then a fresh chain starts at Round 3: 1 point for Round 3 and 2 points for Round 4, for 4 points in total. Picking a later round right is always worth something, even if you missed an earlier one.

Only rounds that player actually won can score. Once they lose, their chain is over — later picks for them are worth nothing.

On desktop, hover a finished match to see exactly what that pick was worth. Your total score is the sum of those points across the whole draw, and the highest total wins.
