In 2018,IFPA is going to be doing challenge Matches were 2 people can submit a match. It is not for WWPR’s and does not cost a dollar. It will effect your IFPA rating.

It sounds interesting but still confused on how it works.I am guessing it needs to be in a tournament setting or is it just two people in a bar having a good time and submitting for points.

It could be either. Obviously you would probably wait till the tournament is over.
I think it’s more geared toward the later.

I still dont understand how this works...


I just challenge you to a match Tom? How many games do we play?
Then we both report that match?

Can we meet up and play a bunch of matches in 1 day?

I believe you have to do it through MatchPlay.com exclusively. You challenge someone to match, obviously they have to accept the match.

Click on create challenge.

Looks like you can do best of 1,3,5,7,9 game match

You then enter your match Play id. Match also tracks your IFPA ranking


I use MatchPlay for our FCPL League & Flippin the Fox Tournament. Very easy to use.

can it be done with 1 person that owns a smart phone,or do both need smart phone capabilities (sorry, yes I am still that guy)

reminds me somewhat of the 'bag tag' idea from golf/ disc golf.

I have actually thought it would be fun if there was some sort of system to easily track that.

Allow anyone to 'buy' a virtual bag tag at the start of the year. Each player is assigned a bag # randomly to start the year.
You can then challenge or be challenged by anyone at any point in the year to play a best of 3 or 5 game series. (rules in place like only 1 challenge per day, if you dont challege 1 person per 2 weeks then you auto drop 1 place, some places put constraints like only able to challenge withing X spots of your tag, etc...) if there was a system to do this it could be really fun.


The goal is to have the highest bag tag at the end of the year. Some places then do a finals group event at the end of the year for the highest X tags.

That I am not sure. I assume only one person needs to do it.

I’m looking forward to this for next year. Looks pretty easy to use. I’m sure I’ll be challenging a lot of people.
