How it’s built

Layout
A full-bleed blurred photographic field carries the page, tinted blue at the edges and warm/pink near the center. Thin court-like horizontal and vertical lines divide the field into an oversized tennis-court diagram, but the lines are interrupted at intersections and near the central content rather than boxed into a rigid grid. The brand marks, large two-line title, short explanatory copy, and start action form a centered vertical stack. Peripheral court lines and margins remain visible on every side. The visual has an intentionally soft, hazy focal center and clear geometric frame.
Type
The title is a large italic high-contrast serif in white, split after “Tie-” so the two words form a compact centered block. Small white sans-serif copy sits immediately below, centered over three short lines. Brand marks above are compact and brighter. The visual suggests a sharp display-versus-utility hierarchy; exact typeface, font size, weights, leading, and tracking cannot be identified from the image and are not inferred.
Color and surface
Dark navy and indigo dominate the outer image; the center contains smoky beige, purple, and muted red. Court lines glow in pale cyan, pink, and white with subtle color shifts. The background is photographic and defocused rather than a flat panel. The small start control has a white face and dark outline, giving it the strongest crisp surface contrast. No card sits behind the text.
Components
Centered brand stack includes two compact logos, a serif event title, one brief instruction, and a single rectangular Start button with a small outlined circular pictogram. Court lines operate as background framing rather than interactive controls. No utility nav is visible in this frame.

What makes it work

  • continuous blurred photo background
  • large centered italic display title
  • geometric thin-line frame referencing a court
  • compact centered action stack
On a new subjectFor another interactive campaign, use its activity's abstract geometry around a centered proposition and one initiating action; preserve legible white type over softened imagery.

Live behavior

Today
The Tie-break landing screen layers thin white court-like line geometry over a full-field heavily blurred blue-gray image with dense grain. A small centered white co-brand mark sits above a very large white slanted high-contrast serif title on two lines, tiny white centered sans explanation and small white rectangular Start button with dark icon/label and separated translucent outline. This is a restrained centered entry composition; the game itself was not entered.
Responsive
At768px the line geometry becomes taller and the co-brand image, title, support and action occupy a much larger proportion of width/height. At390px they remain centered in a narrow vertical composition, with title filling most width and court-like lines running close to the sides. The title is slightly larger on tablet than desktop, while the phone reduces it. No actual game, landscape layout or later scene was tested.
Scroll
Nominal desktop scroll attempt stays actual0 with document1440x1000; screenshot bytes equal t0/t2. This establishes no document scroll in the saved entry state, not that the later game has no navigation or scene movement.
