## What is Acework?

Acework - Where Amateur Tennis Gets Real.

Tired of vague NTRP self-ratings, lost match scores in WeChat groups, and tournaments organized via Excel sheets? Acework gives serious amateur tennis players the tools they deserve.

REAL RATINGS
Every verified ranked match updates your Acework Rating using an ELO-based algorithm. Start at 5.00, climb through the tiers, see exactly where you stand vs opponents in your city.

MONTHLY RANKED LEAGUE
Opt in to the monthly league. Acework assigns you 5 opponents over the month, matched by rating and location. Climb the rankings, earn badges, prove your level.

CLUBS
Create a club for your city's tennis community. Invite members with a 6-character code. Host tournaments and pickups for your members. Challenge other clubs.

CLUB MATCHES
Set up custom multi-match ties (singles plus doubles, your choice of format) against rival clubs. Members sign up, owners pick lineups, the system tracks every point.

PICKUPS
Post a hit, find players at your level, no more endless WeChat back-and-forth. Filter by city, NTRP, and category. Real-time joining and notifications.

TOURNAMENTS
Run real tournaments - single elimination or round-robin - with auto-seeding by Acework Rating. Track results, see brackets, declare champions.

BUILT FOR OVERSEAS CHINESE TENNIS PLAYERS
Full bilingual support (English and Chinese). City filtering optimized for Toronto, Vancouver, Bay Area, NYC, Boston and other diaspora hubs.

OTHER FEATURES
- Score Tracker for on-court use
- Match history and head-to-head records
- Profile sharing via at-handle
- Photo evidence for verified scores
- Push notifications for league assignments

Paid Tournaments (New)
Verified organizers can host tournaments with entry fees. Register with Apple Pay or credit card — Acework holds the funds until the tournament date so refunds are always safe. Cancel 48h+ before start for a full refund.

Organizer Application
Want to run a paid tournament? Apply in-app: upload ID, sign the organizer agreement, wait for admin approval.

Primary / Entry Leagues
Two leagues so you play people at your level: Primary (3.0 and up) and Entry (under 3.0).

Shareable Cards
Tournament wins, club match results, and profile stats — one tap to a beautiful share card with a scannable QR code.
