FTM 2.0 — Rules & Scoring System

You cannot save your team if you exceed your budget. If you try, you'll get an error message and your team remains unchanged.
4. Deadlines
Note: Deadlines are subject to change as we experiment with optimal timing for different tournament types. Always check the Pick Team page for the current deadline.
Timezone: Europe/Amsterdam (CET/CEST)

Sunday 22:00 lock (before the first Monday matches in London).

Monday 22:00 lock.
Deviating start days
Any adjustment to the lock will be announced in advance in the weekly status email and as an in-app banner.
5. Scoring System — Basics
The basis of FTM follows the official ranking points (2026 Rulebook) per tournament type and round.
General ATP rules we follow: GS & M1000: points from second round onwards; 500/250: no points for loss in first played round; qualifiers receive qualifying points on top of their main draw points; bye and loss in first played round ⇒ points from that first played round.
6. Captain
Coming Soon: The captain feature is not yet available. We will announce when it goes live.
Choose 1 captain per week ⇒ 1.2× multiplier on all his points (round up to whole points).
You can change your captain until the lock of his first match.
7. Special Tournaments
7.1 Nitto ATP Finals (FTM variant)
ATP basis: undefeated champion 1500 (200 per RR win, +400 SF, +500 F).
FTM bonus: +3 per round-robin win in straight sets.
9. Cups (Cup Classification)
You get 1 cup for every tournament winner who was in your team in that week.
Multiple titles in the same week ⇒ multiple cups.
Final balance determines the winner of the Cup Classification; in case of a tie, the prize is shared.
10. Season Classification & Tie-breakers
Total points over all game weeks (test week excluded).
Tie-breakers:
- Most cups
- Highest single-week score
- Most GS wins within the team (number of tournament winners over GS weeks)
- Draw
11. Fair Play & Accounts
Maximum 1 account per person.
In case of abuse (multi-accounts, collusion), the organization reserves the right to remove accounts and cancel results.
Conclusion
Suggestions welcome! We evaluate new features during the season and only adjust them with announcement before a game week lock.
