Question 1

How does Unseeded compare to traditional Toronto tennis clubs?

Accepted Answer

Toronto clubs charge $1,500–$3,500/year with multi-year waitlists. Unseeded is $45 flat for 5 real singles matches on public courts across 8 weeks. No initiation fees, no annual dues, no politics. Just show up, play, and go home.

Question 2

Where do we play? Do I have to pay court fees?

Accepted Answer

You and your opponent choose the court. Most matches happen on free public courts in your zone (we map venues with 4+ courts for easy walk-on). Prefer a guaranteed time slot or playing indoors? Both players can agree in the in-app chat to book a pay-to-play court or bubble and split the booking fee 50/50.

Question 3

What if people are waiting on our public court (30-min rule)?

Accepted Answer

Toronto public courts ask players to rotate if a queue forms. We recommend picking multi-court hubs (like High Park, Eglinton Flats, or Sir Adam Beck) or playing off-peak. If court time is limited, our official league rules let you play a 10-point Super Tiebreak for the deciding 3rd set so you finish cleanly without rushing.

Question 4

Who brings the tennis balls?

Accepted Answer

Our league rule is simple: whoever proposes the court brings a fresh, unopened can of balls. After the match, the loser keeps the balls.

Question 5

What if my opponent ghosts or cancels last minute?

Accepted Answer

This is why you pay $45 — to filter out flakes. If an opponent ignores messages for 5 days or cancels less than 4 hours before a match, you claim a walkover win. The league protects your time and your schedule.

Question 6

How do you verify match scores?

Accepted Answer

The winner logs the score in the app and takes a quick joint selfie at the net with the loser. The loser then has 48 hours to confirm the score. No one can fake their way up the leaderboard.

Question 7

What happens if it rains on match day?

Accepted Answer

Toronto weather happens. If rain washes out your match, one tap in the app automatically extends your round deadline by 3 days. No stress, no penalties.

Question 8

What is the midseason cut?

Accepted Answer

After 3 rounds, every local group splits: the top half goes to the Championship bracket, the bottom half to Challenger. Your final 2 matches are against opponents who earned their spot — not random draws. It makes every point matter.

Question 9

What if not enough people sign up in my zone?

Accepted Answer

This is Season 1 — we are building this from scratch. If your zone × division pool has fewer than 4 paid players by Draft Night (Sept 14), we either merge you into a nearby zone or issue a full refund. No questions, no delays. The $45 is risk-free.
