How FinalPoint works.

Tap Sign Up on the home page. The form asks for your name, an @username (used for Quick Match lookups), email, password, date of birth, and an optional profile photo. Confirm via the link sent to your inbox, and you'll land on a short welcome flow that picks your lead sport and offers an invite-code field if a friend's already sent you one.

No — FinalPoint is a Progressive Web App. Open thefinalpoint.app in any modern browser. On iOS Safari and Android Chrome, you can also “Add to Home Screen” from the share menu to get the standalone-app feel without a download.

Five — badminton, tennis, table tennis, padel, and pickleball. Each one has its own EVO rating and its own group rankings. Mixed-sport groups are supported; FinalPoint never blends a badminton win into your tennis number.

Sign up, then tap “Start a group” from your home screen. Pick a name and a sport, and you'll get a 6–7 character invite code (e.g. X7K9PM) plus a shareable link. Friends join with one tap.

Either paste the invite code from /groups (or the welcome screen) or tap a /invite/<code> link a friend has shared. The link works whether you're signed in or not — first-time visitors get walked through sign-up as part of the join flow.

Members can record their own matches and see the rankings. Admins can edit group settings and confirm matches that involve them. The chief admin (the group creator) can additionally record matches on behalf of other players and resolve disputes they weren't part of.

Yes. Your per-sport EVO is shared across every group you play in for that sport — so if you're in two badminton groups, both feed the same badminton rating. Group rankings stay scoped to each group's own match history.

Sessions are scheduled group play — the regular Tuesday badminton, the Sunday-morning tennis, anything booked in advance. Group admins create them with a date, time, and capacity; members RSVP. The Sessions tab in the bottom nav aggregates them across every group you're in, with Live / Upcoming / Previous buckets and a green pulse on the tab when one is live right now.

Tap Record in the bottom nav. You'll get three choices: Quick Match (against any FinalPoint user by username, no group needed), Group Match (inside one of your groups), or Pickup (a score-keeper for an in-person casual session). Group home pages also link straight into a Group Match for that group.

A singles or doubles match against another FinalPoint user by @username, no group required. Both players' per-sport EVO updates the same way it would inside a group, but Quick Matches don't appear on any group rankings.

A score-keeper for a casual in-person session — bring your phone court-side and log matches as they happen. Players can be other FinalPoint users or just names you type in. Pickups don't affect EVO or group rankings; they're a self-contained scoreboard for the night, with their own MVP and standings at session end.

Group matches auto-confirm the moment they're logged — they go straight onto the rankings and into everyone's EVO. Anyone in the match has a 24-hour window to dispute or edit if the score went in wrong; after that the result locks and the chief admin owns corrections. Quick Matches still use the older flow: the opponent (or all four players in doubles) confirms or disputes before the match counts.

Inside a group, anyone in the match can edit it during the 24-hour dispute window. Once that window closes, edits and deletes route to the chief admin to keep the record honest. Quick Matches can be edited until they're confirmed; after that the chief-admin equivalent doesn't apply, since there's no group to oversee them.

Quick Matches auto-confirm after a confirmation window so a forgetful opponent doesn't trap your result in limbo forever. Until then, the match is visible in everyone's notifications with a clear prompt to act on it. (Group matches don't have this issue — they auto-confirm from the start.)

Every player gets a 0–100 EVO rating per sport. It rises with wins and drops with losses, and the magnitude of the change scales with the gap between you and your opponent — beating a much higher-rated player moves your number more than beating someone you outclass.

Until your fifth confirmed match in a sport, EVO shows as “LET ME COOK” rather than a number. A handful of matches isn't enough signal to pin a meaningful rating to you; the placeholder is honest about that. Once you cross the threshold, the number reveals — still in a provisional band — and stabilises around your twentieth match.

Six tiers across the 0–100 range — Rookie, Contender, Regular, Sharp, Strong, Legendary — colour-coded everywhere your number appears (home hero card, ranking rows, profile). Tier label and the next-tier delta are surfaced on the EVO hero so you always know where you sit on the curve.

Between your fifth and twentieth match in a sport, your EVO is shown with a “~” prefix — the rating exists but is still settling. Once you hit twenty matches, the prefix drops and the number is treated as fully ranked.

Badges unlock automatically as you play. Streaks, milestone match counts, signature wins (giant-killer, perfect game, comeback), tenure, EVO peaks. Each comes in a bronze / silver / gold tier; the higher tiers represent genuinely rare moments. Pro subscribers also unlock a violet Pro tier with twenty-two extra badges.

Tap Profile from the bottom nav. The hero card at the top shows your latest unlock; the per-tier tally cards lead into the full grid at /stats/badges where every badge (locked + unlocked) shows what's required and how close you are.

Yes. No ads, no subscriptions, no hidden fees.

Tap your profile photo in the top-right of any (app) screen to open Settings, then Personal details (/account/personal). Display name can be edited freely; @username is what other players use for Quick Match lookups, so it has a few uniqueness constraints — the form will tell you if your pick is taken.

Yes. Open their profile from any ranking row or match, tap the menu, and choose Block. Blocked users can't find you in @username search and won't appear in your search results either. Manage the list any time from Settings → Blocked users.
