Answer a challenge

When someone challenges you, you have a set number of days to answer. Answer quickly so the challenge does not run out.

Answer in the app

A new challenge appears under Your move on Home.

1. Open the challenge to see the proposed times, the court, and any message.
2. Choose how to answer.

Your options:

• Tap one of the proposed times to accept with that time.
• Accept if only one time was proposed.
• Suggest another time to offer up to 3 other times, or a date and time, and a court.
• Decline, with an optional reason.

Answer from a notification

With notifications on, you can answer without opening the app. The notification lists the proposed times. Choose Accept to take the first proposed time, Suggest a time to open the app, or Decline.

Answer on the website

Open the link in the challenge email. You can accept, decline, or suggest a different time.

After you accept

• The accepted time becomes the match time for both of you.
• You can see your opponent's contact details. Email is always shown. Call and Text appear only if your opponent shared a phone number with opponents.
• A match chat opens between the two of you, with quick replies like "Running 10 min late".
• In the app, tap Add to calendar to save the match.

You now have a set time to play the match. See The challenge clock.

Monthly matchups

Some ladders pair players each month. A monthly matchup works like a challenge, but both players accept it.
