How the tournament runs

  1. Now
    Pre-draw picks

    Name your champion and a finalist for each draw before the names are even on the board. Worth 25 / 15 points per draw.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Round of 16 onwards
    Match calls

    Once the last 16 are set in a draw, call each match: winner, set score and whether it goes to a tiebreak. Each call locks at the scheduled start of its match, so a day's calls are made that morning.

  5. 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.

Scoring

Everything adds to one combined leaderboard.

Points double every round, so each round is worth the same 64 in total and the max is 448 per draw, 896 for both. A pick that loses early simply stops scoring; there are no negative points.

Tiebreak in the match, yes or no2

Multiplied by round: Round of 16 ×1, Quarterfinal ×2, Semifinal ×3, Final ×4. A perfect call is 10 points before the multiplier, up to 40 in the final. Men play best of five (3-0, 3-1, 3-2), women best of three (2-0, 2-1). If a player retires or gives a walkover, the winner still counts but the set score and tiebreak props are voided: no points, no penalty.

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; you will see it on your bracket. 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.
  • Entries we find linked to the same person (shared device, network, wallet funding, or duplicate picks) are set aside from the prize ranking and can be removed.
