How to play unranked and challenged matches!

We’re excited to introduce Challenge Matches & Unranked Matches—a new way to compete, climb the ranks, and engage with other players at your venue!

Challenge for a Higher Spot on the List

Think you’ve got what it takes to move up the ranks? You can now challenge a player above you on the list and make an offer for their spot!

How It Works:

Make Sure You’re Authorized – Go to your venue’s website. If your Player Nav section appears at the bottom, you’re good to go!

Find a Player to Challenge –

  • Head to the Players page and look for the “Challenge for Their Spot” button next to any higher-ranked player.
  • OR click on your own name in the Player Nav, use Search Players, and select an opponent. Their page will display the challenge button.

Make an Offer & Send the Challenge –

  • The default offer is $10 per spot ahead of you, but you can adjust it as needed.
  • Click Send, and the challenged player will receive a notification.

Acceptance & Match Setup –

  • If they accept, both players will be notified with a link to set up the match.
  • If they decline, no harm, no foul—keep playing and try again later!

Unranked Matches – Play Anyone, Anytime!

Not ready for a ranked challenge? No problem! You can challenge any player on the list for an unranked match, regardless of their rank.

How to Set Up an Unranked Match:

  • Follow the same steps as a ranked challenge, but click “Unranked Match” instead.
  • No offer amount is needed—just send the request and wait for acceptance!

This new feature brings even more strategy and excitement to your venue’s player list. Whether you’re climbing the ranks or just looking for a good match, CueRanks has you covered!
