Frequently Asked Questions
How does this work?
There is a lot of math involved but it boils down to players having skill numbers. These skill numbers are matched up for each match and with some variations (i.e. it’s not just random) the winner is determined.
Where do I watch the match?
There’s nothing to see here! Aside from the scoreboard, there’s nothing to watch during a match. This is purely a text-based simulation.
What differences are there between this and real life?
It’s a simplified version of the real professional tennis tours with a few exceptions. This version has the following differences:
- The events have qualifying draws which are much larger.
- The qualifying drawers can be considered similar to “Challenger” or “ITF” events in real life and players get ranking points along those lines, not just qualifying ranking points.
- Each event is considered one week. For example, whereas the pro seasons have multiple events each week, this app goes through the events one-by-one.
- The rankings are also a little easier to follow in that the player’s 16 best events count and that’s it.
