Challenge application
This is an application for:
- Professional tennis players that would like to keep track of their results and share their accomplishments with their fans;
- Amateur tennis players, that would like to challenge other sportsmen nearby, schedule friendly tournaments and then log the results to get a higher position in a global rating;
- Tennis admirers from all over the world that would like to follow their favorite tennis players' lives.
for the start
To create a user-friendly online and offline multiplayer sports application. The first launch was focused on tennis, but later the app can be easily modified for use with other kinds of sports. A long-term goal is to combine it with a social network. The app’s concept is based on the competitive nature of the target audience—amateur tennis players.
we decided
The application features communication, competing and sharing opportunities, as well as global and regional ranking systems – all of which requires profound server-side development and its integration with the client side. We decided to base the global ranking system on the famous ELO rating system used by the Chess Federation. This is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in “competitor vs competitor” type of games.
In the nearest future we are planning to add more gamified techniques and more types of tennis challenges to create a bigger variety of options.
