Real Rewards, Real Players
The game is backed by Winners Alliance, a global platform that represents group commercial rights for athletes and works with organizations like the Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA). Their partnership with Sweet opens up new ways for players to benefit from their likeness—and for fans to interact with them in meaningful ways.
“Our mission has always been to put athletes first, and this collaboration helps us create new value for both players and fans,” said Manny Redruello, VP of Games at Winners Alliance. He noted that SCOR is designed to “celebrate the individual talents of the world’s best tennis players” while driving new visibility and opportunity across the sport.
Sweet CEO Tom Mizzone echoed that sentiment, describing Flappy Racquet as “a mash-up of nostalgia, athlete IP, and real rewards.” He added, “Whether you’re a tennis diehard or just someone who loves a good challenge, this one’s going to hit.”
Sweet’s broader approach is all about building connections between fans and athletes—not just through likes or follows, but through gameplay, rewards, and unique experiences.
