FAQ

Predictions

How does the scoring work?▾

Each correct prediction earns 10 points. You get a +5 bonus for the exact set score, and another +5 for correctly predicting an upset. All points are then multiplied by the round factor (×1.5 for QF, ×2 for SF, ×3 for Final).

When can I make my predictions?▾

As soon as the tournament draw is published, and until the first match of that round begins.

Can I change my predictions?▾

Yes, up until the first match of the relevant round starts. Once that match begins, predictions for the entire round are locked.

What is the discovery tournament?▾

A sandbox tournament accessible to all new users to practice predictions. It has no impact on your global ranking or private league standings.

Fantasy Manager

What happens if my player gets injured?▾

Their points remain at 0 for any unplayed matches. You can transfer them out during the next transfer window.

How does the transfer window work?▾

You have a maximum of 3 transfers per window (between two BWF tournaments). Each purchase is subject to a 5% tax on the player's current price.

Can a player score in both singles and doubles?▾

Yes — a player active in multiple disciplines will score points from each simultaneously.
