Most online reward systems celebrate attention. Tennis Playmate should celebrate action: showing up, completing a match, welcoming someone new, helping a coach, supporting a public court or volunteering at a grassroots program.
Points and reputation are different
ACE Points are redeemable loyalty rewards. A Playmate Trust Score is a non-purchasable measure of reliability and sportsmanship. A player may spend points and keep a strong reputation. Nobody should be able to buy trust.
Useful earning examples
- Complete a mutually confirmed match: 20 points
- Host a completed four-player doubles game: 30 points
- Refer a new member who completes a match: 50 points
- Join a verified community clinic: 50 points
- Volunteer for an approved grassroots program: 100 points
- Organize a successful local tennis mission: up to 250 points
Posting an open match can earn a small amount, but completion should earn the real reward. Otherwise people learn to create listings rather than create tennis.
What points can unlock
Potential rewards include event discounts, coach consultations, stringing offers, Six Love Tennis merchandise, tournament tickets, Paradise Tennis travel benefits and sponsor-funded donations. Every reward should state its sponsor, availability and expiration clearly.
Protection against gaming
Weekly caps, mutual confirmation, identity checks, duplicate detection and manual review for large awards protect the system. Repeated no-shows affect reputation rather than creating a confusing negative-points economy.
ACE Points can later connect with TennisTokens.com, but Phase 1 remains simple: a loyalty system that recognizes participation without requiring a wallet or asking a player to understand crypto.
