Community Guidelines
Last Updated: August 31, 2026
Welcome to Tiebreak where you can go to connect with your local tennis community and find your next tennis match. Our Community Guidelines and our Terms of Service are intended to create a safe and welcoming environment for all users of Tiebreak. These guidelines apply to public profiles, photos, messages, match requests, and other content or interactions on Tiebreak, as well as conduct during matches or other meetings arranged through Tiebreak. Individuals who do not respect these guidelines may lose access to this service.
Show respect for others
The Tiebreak tennis community welcomes a diverse group of individuals with a common passion for tennis. We will not tolerate derogatory comments, bullying, hate speech, harassment, threats, stalking, sexual harassment, or other rude and abusive behavior. Users should use Tiebreak’s in-app reporting tools or via email (tiebreak@tiebreakapp.com) to report conduct or content that violates these guidelines. Users may also block users they do not wish to interact with. When messaging with other users, stay respectful. This is how we will build our local tennis community.
The same goes for your conduct on the tennis court. Be respectful of the other player and be a good sportsperson.
Fostering a diverse tennis community
We strive to be a welcoming, diverse community and welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds. Our common ground is our love for tennis, but as individuals we will differ in many ways. Your next tennis match may very well be with someone very different from you. We will not tolerate discrimination based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or ability.
Represent yourself
To help you discover and get to know others in your local tennis community, please be honest when you post information about yourself. Pretending you are Rafa or Roger won’t get you very far. Only post original photos and videos of yourself and be honest with how you represent yourself. Do not use AI-generated or materially altered images, false identities, or other misleading information to misrepresent your identity or appearance. Violations may result in removal of the content and restriction, suspension, or termination of your account.
Guidelines on photos
This app is meant to feel comfortable for all users. Do not post photos that are shirtless, sexually explicit, or pornographic. The app is for users 18 years or older. Do not post photos or videos in which anyone under 18 is identifiable. Do not post photos or videos unless you own the content or have all necessary rights and permissions to post it. Your face should be clearly visible in your profile photo.
Stay safe
When you plan to meet with someone to play tennis, use the same common sense you would in every day life: choose tennis courts that you feel comfortable going to, let others know where you will be, meet during the day, don’t agree to go to isolated locations, and consider having a friend go with you.
Follow applicable public-health guidance and the rules of the facility where you play. If you have symptoms of a contagious illness, postpone the match and take reasonable precautions to protect yourself and others.
No illegal activity
Tiebreak should not be used for illegal activities. If you engage in illegal activity through Tiebreak or in connection with an interaction arranged through Tiebreak, Tiebreak may remove related content, restrict, suspend, or terminate your account, and report the activity to law enforcement when appropriate or required by law.
Tiebreak may use automated tools and human review to moderate content and enforce these guidelines and the Terms of Service.
If you don’t follow these guidelines, Tiebreak may remove content, issue a warning, restrict access, suspend or terminate your account, or take other appropriate action. Tiebreak may act without prior warning when it determines that immediate action is appropriate. These guidelines are designed to make Tiebreak a friendly and safe place for all our users.
Thank you for doing your part in creating a safe, welcoming environment for our local tennis community.
Now get out on court!
