Play more. Climb the ranks. Run it all from one screen.

1. 1Register and verify your email. You get a BRANKS player ID (like BRANKS-00001) that is yours for good.
2. 2Add a profile photo and your location. The photo is also your first mission.
3. 3Find an event under Live games and RSVP, or ask the organizer to add you to the roster.
4. 4Play. Every game that is verified earns ranking points, and your rank is worked out from your total.

Points come from games, not from turning up alone, and they only count once a game is verified (the organizer does this automatically when the event ends). Each game is worked out in three steps.

Worked example: You win 11-7 (+4 margin) at a standard 1.0× event: 10 + 30 + 4 = 44 points. The same win at everyday open play (about 0.5×) is roughly 22. At a provincial tournament worth 2× it is 88.

• Beat stronger players. The opponent bonus is how a newer player climbs fast. Your first 5 ranked games count you as 200 points for this, so early games are not punished.
• Repeat matchups fade. Meeting the same opponents again the same day pays 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, then nothing, so mix up who you play.
• Missions add more. Completing a mission pays bonus points on top (see below).

Points are for your rank only. Your rank is read from your total points, but you cannot move up into the next tier until every mission of your current tier is done. There are nine tiers, each split into III, II and I (I is the highest), plus Champion for the leaderboard's number one. The first tiers take the most points, so the early climb is a real challenge.

1. Rookie

   Every rally begins with a first bounce.

   from 0 pts

2. Rallyer

   Keeping the ball alive, back and forth.

   from 500 pts

3. Dinker

4. Attacker

5. Controller

   Placement so precise it picks the winner.

   from 3,300 pts

6. Strategist

   Reads the court two shots ahead.

7. Ace

   Brilliant, hard to break, rare.

   from 5,500 pts

8. Master

   Wears the crown on any court.

   from 6,750 pts

9. Legend

   A name every club talks about.

   from 8,150 pts

10. Champion

    Held by the #1 player on the board.

    Not a points threshold

Ranking up: Each tier starts at its III sub-rank. If you have the points but not the missions, your points are saved and your rank moves up the moment the last mission is done. A rank-up celebration appears the next time you open your page, and you can share it.

Leaderboards: The city, province, region and national rankings are not ordered by points. They are ordered by your record in ranked events: most wins first, then win rate, then fewest losses. Each event counts once, by where you finished: 1st place is a win, 2nd and 3rd are half a win, 4th and 5th count as played, and 6th or lower is a loss.

Missions are required, not optional: finish every mission of your tier to rank up into the next one. They are laid out tier by tier on your page and plan page, and they also pay a points reward by themselves the moment a verified game completes them. Typical missions:

• Add a profile photo+30
• Complete your first verified game+30
• Record your first win+50
• Win 5 games within 10+80
• Beat a player a full rank above you+95
• Win 3 games in a row+75
• Play in 3 different events+75
• Beat a Master-ranked player+125

Missions above your tier stay hidden until you have progress on them, so the board only shows what is within reach. Rewards grow from 30 points at Rookie to 250 at Legend.

Badges

Rankings run in seasons, one per calendar quarter. Season standings count only points earned inside the season, so everyone gets a fresh race.

• When a season closes, its standings are frozen and finishing in the top 10 earns a season accolade on your profile.
• Everyone then drops one tier for the new season. Missions you already earned stay earned and are never paid twice.
• The leaderboard has city, province, region and Philippines views, and a list of past seasons.

1. 1Open the event's live page from the organizer's QR code or the Live games list.
2. 2Tap Join on the event's live page. Some events let you in at once; others put you on a waitlist until the organizer approves you. You can also be invited by an organizer: accept the invitation on your profile page.
3. 3Check in when you arrive: on the live page or by name at the kiosk tablet.
4. 4Tap “Alert me when I'm up” for a chime and notification when you reach Up Next. The banner shows your place in line either way.
5. 5Play the court you are sent to. The organizer records the result (or approves the one sent from the kiosk).
6. 6Open your result card to share it, and watch your points and missions update after verification.

Tip: Tap your name in the live Session rankings to open your own result card, and play different opponents each round to keep every game at full value.

1. 1Register a club organizer account, then create your club and wait for approval.
2. 2Organizers use their own account type and don't play or get ranked. To do both, keep two accounts with different emails.
3. 3Add your club details, then create your first event. Start small: one Balanced session with one court.
4. 4Share the live link, QR poster or kiosk so players can find and check in to the event.

Club plan: A running club plan unlocks the ranking view for all of your club's players at once, so nobody has to pay individually. Community and official tournaments carry a one-off fee when the event is created.

The kind is picked when you create the event. It decides whether games count for ranking, how much they are worth, which matching styles you can use, and who approves the value.

1. 1

   Create

   Pick the kind, date, venue and courts. Choose doubles or singles.

2. 2

   Roster

   Search, import from Reclub, or let players RSVP.

3. 3

   Check in

   Toggle on the Roster, player self check-in, or the kiosk.

4. 4

   Fill courts

   Auto-fill open courts, then press Start on each.

5. 5

   Record

   Tap the winning team and the score. Players rotate back.

1. 1Open your club's admin, choose Events and create the event. Pick Doubles (2 v 2) or Singles (1 v 1, Balanced matching only).
2. 2Choose a matching style. Balanced is right for most sessions; see Matching styles below.
3. 3Optionally set Max games per player. Players at the cap stay in the queue but are skipped by Auto-fill.
4. 4Choose Who can join: anyone (they are on the roster at once) or you approve each player (they wait on a waitlist). Optionally set a player limit; once it is full, new players wait on the waitlist.
5. 5Set the status to Open so players can join and check in, then Live when play starts. On the event page, Join requests and invitations is where you approve or decline the waitlist and invite players by name or BRANKS ID (you can limit the search to one club).
6. 6Check names, skill levels, genders (Mixed Doubles) and club tags (Club Wars) before you start: they decide who can be matched.

The Courts screen shows courts in play first, empty courts underneath, and the queue beside them with who is up next and an estimated wait.

Fixing a mistake: Open the match in Results to correct the score or mark it disputed. Admins resolve disputes before verifying. Every override is logged.

Tip: The Courts screen has Share live view, Check-in kiosk and QR/TV links in one place, so you can open each on the right device.

1. 1Each finished game is listed in Results with its court, mode, duration and score.
2. 2You don't have to verify by hand: when you end the event, every finished game is verified and credited automatically. Verify early to credit a game sooner, or dispute one to hold it back.
3. 3Everyday kinds (open play, club leagues and club wars) get their value approved automatically.
4. 4Community and official tournaments are worth more. Fill in the Event Value form on the event page before you end the event; a Super Admin approves it, then points, mission bonuses and badges are paid out.
5. 5Share a verified result as a card, or open the public rankings for your city and province.

Event value: Value comes from the event type, level of play, field size, structure, eligibility, prizes and sanctioning, and sets the 0.5× to 3× multiplier players earn with. Practice sessions are never ranked.

Queue order is always the starting point; the style adds the rules your group needs. Choose the simplest one that fits. Which styles you can pick depends on the event kind.

Skill levels

Six levels help matching and Skill Courts. A skill level is an organizer's rating of a player for sessions; it is separate from the ranking points a player earns.

Every event belongs to a club. Clubs keep their own roster, rankings and public pages, so one club's data never appears in another's.
