What Is Solitary
Solitary is built on a simple belief: the purest form of competition is 1v1, and the realest form of community is everyone showing up to watch it go down.
What We're Building
The Road To Showdown
We’re building a platform for the best 1v1 players to compete, make a name for themselves, and get paid doing it. Ante Up brings out new talent in cities across the country, with real money on the line every time. The best earn their way to Showdown, where the matchups get bigger, the stakes get higher, and reputations are made.

Ante Up
We’re bringing new faces to the 1v1 scene and getting the best players in each city outside. Ante Up is a multi-city tour featuring men’s and women’s double-elimination tournaments, with cash prizes for the winners. Lose twice and you’re out. Win your way through the bracket and make a name for yourself.
This is where you prove you belong on the bigger stage

Showdown
This is where the stakes get higher. Showdown brings together the biggest names in 1v1 basketball and the players who’ve earned their shot. No brackets, just handpicked matchups between players with something to prove. Every matchup is a chance to build your name, defend your reputation, or take somebody else’s spot.
This is what you’re working toward.
