How the tournament runs

  1. Thu, Aug 27, 12:00 PM ET
    Draw ceremony: the bracket opens

    All 128 names land in each draw. Click players through, round by round, to the title. Edit as often as you like until first ball; the last save counts.

  2. Sun, Aug 30, 11:00 AM ET
    First ball: everything locks

    Brackets and pre-draw picks freeze when play starts on Ashe. Withdrawals before then are re-synced into the draw, so check your bracket the morning of.

  3. Round of 32 onwards
    Match calls

    From the Round of 32, call the winner of each match. One pick per match, nothing else. Each call locks when its match starts, so a day's calls are made before play. A retirement or walkover still counts for whoever advanced.

  4. Finals weekend
    Final standings

    The board is final after the men's final. Prizes go out to the top 50 wallets once eligibility and fair play checks are done.

Match calls

  • From the Round of 32: 31 matches per draw, 62 in all. Call the winner. That is the whole call.
  • Later rounds pay more: R32 7 · R16 11 · QF 23 · SF 53 · F 109 points. Up to 507 per draw, about half of everything on offer.
  • Each match locks at its scheduled start. Miss the bracket and you can still climb the board.

Scoring

Everything adds to one combined leaderboard.

Champion, wins the final1 match64

Points double every round, so each round is worth the same 64 in total and the max is 448 per draw, 896 for both. You score a match when the player you advanced from it actually wins it; who they beat does not matter. So a pick keeps scoring as long as that player keeps winning, even if the rest of that section of your bracket has fallen apart. A pick that loses early simply stops scoring; there are no negative points.

A call is the winner and nothing else. Later rounds pay more, up to 109 for the final: the one call made with the most information. A retirement or walkover still counts for whoever advanced.

Results

Scores come from the official US Open scoreboard and are graded automatically, usually within minutes of the handshake. Picks on a match that has already started are not accepted. If the draw changes before first ball (a withdrawal, a lucky loser), the bracket is re-synced and any pick on a player who is no longer in the draw is cleared, so you can pick again. After first ball your picks are never changed: a player who withdraws stays in your bracket, marked out, and simply scores nothing. The organisers' decision on any dispute is final.

Fair play

One player, one entry.

  • One entry per person. A single Discord account and a single wallet per player.
  • No multiple or alt accounts, and no sybilling to enter more than once or inflate your odds.
