Match Play Matrix

Match Play Matrix®

Match Play Matrix® is a unique match play format where every player plays every round. Instead of win or go home, it’s win or go on!

  • Retains the ethos of match play as the winner is the only player left undefeated.
  • Every game counts to the final finishing position, so there are no dead games.
  • Each match is a level playing field between opponents with the same win/loss record.
  • It is impossible for opponents to meet each other twice.

Online Management

Match Play World enables you to create and run events online for 8 to 128 players for organisations or groups of friends. Each event feaures easy to use online tools for players to organise ties, report results, share Match Play Moments, see who the next opponent will be and how to contact them.

Scalable Draw

The Matrix can be a seeded or an unseeded draw as players quickly find their own level. It is scalable for a variety of fixed draw sizes and the size of the draw determines the number of rounds.

Unique Ranking For All Competitors

After each round players are ranked in the standings according to the number of games they have won. Players on the same number of wins are then ranked according to the Score Difference.

The Score Difference is the cumulative total of the results of the games they have played. Therefore those that win big are rewarded for their play, as are those losers who fight to the end.

Even if you lose your first game you can still finish 2nd. Or if you win your first game and then start losing, you could finish next to last.

Making Match Play Social

Players who have played in a Matrix event comment on how much more fun it is playing in an event where they know they will play every round. 

Not only do they get to play more matches, but they also enjoy the chance to make more social connections and play at different venues. 

It’s the ideal format for circulating the membership in a club or group of friends.

Match Play Matrix is a knockout win for players and organisers!
