What is an Australian Open sweepstake?+
A sweepstake where every entry is drawn players from the men's and women's singles draws. Entries score points as their players win matches, and the entry with the most points after both finals wins.
How does the random draw work?+
Players are ranked by the ATP and WTA rankings and split into ranked bands, so every entry gets a fair mix of favourites and outsiders from both draws. Bigger groups get more players per entry, and the event builder shows the exact draw before you confirm.
Is it an Australian Open sweepstake generator?+
Yes. Sweepzy generates the draw for you, publishes it to everyone, and keeps the scores and leaderboard updated through the tournament.
Can entrants pick their own players instead?+
Yes. Choose Fantasy Picks: everyone chooses one man and one woman from each seeded pot, plus wildcards.
When does the Australian Open 2027 start?+
The Australian Open 2027 main draw runs from Sunday 17 January to Monday 1 February 2027 at Melbourne Park (Melbourne time). Set your entry deadline before the first match.
How are points scored?+
Every player earns points for each match they win: 1 point in Round 1, 2 in Round 2 and so on, up to 7 for winning the final. Points add up, so each champion is worth 28 points. An entry's score is the total of all its players.
Do the men's and women's draws both count?+
Yes. Every entry has players from both singles draws, and both champions score the same points.
What happens if a player withdraws?+
Sweepzy updates every event when the field changes and tells entrants what changed. In Fantasy Picks, a withdrawn player from Pots 1 to 4 is not replaced, while Pot 5 and the wildcards take the next-highest-ranked player. In a sweepstake that has already been drawn, the next player in the rankings who is not already in the draw takes their place.
Do entrants need an app?+
No. Entrants join from one link or QR code in any mobile or desktop browser, and create a free Sweepzy account with their email.
How much does it cost?+
It is free for up to 4 entries. Bigger offices and groups pay once per event for a plan sized for 15, 30, 50 or unlimited entries. Fundraisers have no upfront cost; a small platform fee applies to paid entries only.
Can clubs run it as a fundraiser?+
Yes. Choose Fundraiser, set the entry fee, cause and prizes, and collect entries online. Card payments go to your club's Stripe account.
