Friendly vs Competitive Open Matches

When players create an open match in Playtomic, they have the option to choose between two distinct types of games:

🏆 Competitive Match

In a competitive match, only players whose skill level fits within the specified range can participate. However, players outside this range can request to join, and if all current players agree, they may be allowed to play. 

• The results always affect a player's ranking. 
• This type of match is perfect for those who want to challenge themselves and improve their Playtomic level.
• When a match is created through the Playtomic Manager, it is automatically classified as competitive. It’s important to note that managers cannot create open friendly matches.

🎾 Friendly Match

In contrast, friendly matches are open to all players, regardless of their skill level. This allows for more relaxed gameplay without the pressure of skill-based restrictions.

• Player levels remain unchanged even if the match results are entered.
• Friendly matches are ideal for players who want to enjoy the match without worrying about rankings or competition.

Once a match is booked, it’s important to remember that it cannot be switched from friendly to competitive.
