Platform and Tools

Every verified match in Check Up starts with a box-score screenshot. After your game ends, someone needs to upload the final stat screen so the platform can log the result, attribute stats, and update MMR. The upload process is built to be fast. Most submissions go from screenshot to verified match in under two minutes.

To upload, go to your player panel and open the Upload page. You will see a drop zone where you can drag and drop a screenshot or tap to select one from your device. The system accepts PNG, JPEG, and WEBP formats. File size limit is 10 MB, which covers even uncompressed console screenshots. You can upload from your phone, your PC, or anywhere you can reach the site.

Once the image hits the server, the OCR pipeline takes over. Check Up uses Claude Vision to read the box-score screenshot. The model extracts player names, team assignments, individual stat lines (points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, turnovers, field goal percentage), and the final score. It maps the extracted gamertags against linked accounts in the system to figure out who played.

If the OCR reads everything cleanly and both players have linked gamertags, the match verifies automatically. You will see a green confirmation on the Upload page and the match will appear in both players' match histories within seconds. Stats flow into your season averages, your MMR adjusts, and any active Arena Picks tied to the match resolve.

Sometimes the OCR cannot parse a name or a stat line. This happens most often with screenshots that are blurry, cropped too tight, or taken at an angle. When the system flags an issue, the match enters manual review. A staff member checks the image and either corrects the extracted data or rejects the submission. You will get a notification when the review is complete.

A few rules keep the system honest. Screenshots must show the full box score with both teams visible. Do not crop out the opponent's stats. Do not submit screenshots from different games spliced together. The system runs tamper detection, and staff audits flagged images. Doctored screenshots result in a ban, no warnings.

Arena Picks is the prediction game inside Check Up. It lets you wager coins on the outcomes of upcoming matches and tournaments. If you follow the league and know the players, Arena Picks turns that knowledge into coins. This article covers the mechanics of placing picks and how the system works under the hood.

When a matchup is confirmed between two verified players, a prediction window opens on the Arena Picks page. You will see both players, their current MMR, and the calculated odds. The window stays open until the match starts. For tournaments, bracket predictions open before the first round and close at tip-off. You cannot place or change a pick after the window closes.

To place a pick, select the event, choose the player or team you think will win, set your wager amount, and confirm. The minimum wager is 10 coins and the maximum is 500 per event. Coins are deducted from your balance immediately when you confirm. If you do not have enough coins, the system blocks the submission. There is no credit or borrowing.

Odds are based on the MMR gap between the two sides. When two similarly rated players face off, you get close to even money. When a high-rated player faces a lower-rated one, picking the favorite pays less and picking the underdog pays more. The exact payout multiplier is shown before you confirm your pick so there are no surprises. Odds lock when the event starts and do not shift after that.

Payouts land in your balance within seconds of the match result being verified. Your winnings equal your wager multiplied by the odds at lock time. If a match is disputed, all associated picks are frozen until the dispute resolves. If the match is voided, your wager is refunded in full.

The Arena Picks leaderboard tracks net profit over the current season. It resets at the start of each new season, but your lifetime accuracy stays on your profile permanently. Finishing in the top ten earns bonus coins and an exclusive badge. The leaderboard rewards consistency across a full season, not just a handful of lucky bets.

The Check Up season pass is a progression track that rewards consistent play across a season. Every verified match, tournament, and league activity earns XP that pushes you through the pass tiers. Free players progress through the pass at the same rate as paid members. The difference is what unlocks at each tier.

The free track includes profile customization items, coin drops, and achievement unlocks. Every player gets access to the base rewards just by playing. The free track has 10 tiers, and reaching the final tier earns you the Season Completion badge. This badge is permanent and carries over to future seasons on your career page.

The Pro track ($9.99/month membership) adds AI-generated match recaps, one free gamertag change per month, and a monthly coin bonus. Pro members unlock additional cosmetic items at tiers 3, 6, and 9. The recaps are generated from your actual match stats and are shareable on social media.

The Elite track ($19.99/month) includes everything in Pro plus advanced analytics. You get access to opponent scouting reports, trend analysis on your performance, and detailed breakdowns of your shooting zones and defensive matchups. Elite members also unlock exclusive profile frames at tiers 5 and 10.

The League Owner track ($29.99/month) is for commissioners and league operators. It includes all Elite features plus access to commissioner tools: season scheduling, tournament creation, custom bracket generation, and league-wide analytics dashboards. League Owners also get priority support and a dedicated staff channel in Discord.

XP requirements scale as you move through the tiers. Tier 1 to 2 takes about 500 XP. Tier 9 to 10 takes around 2,500 XP. The total XP needed to max the pass in a season is achievable by playing 3 to 5 matches per week and participating in at least one tournament. You do not need to grind daily to complete it.
