If something goes wrong

  • Someone entered the wrong court score. Tap “Dispute” and enter yours before the next round starts. No dispute means agreement.
  • You are running late. Tap “5 min late” in the notification; the organiser sees it.
  • You joined without an account. Results remain in the tournament. To keep your rating too, create an account using the button on the tournament page.
  • “My tournaments” is empty. “No tournaments yet — create one or join by link”. There is no “Retry” button. If the list did not load: “Couldn't load this. Check the connection.” and “Retry”.
