Understanding Team Challenges and Leaderboards

Team Challenges foster collaboration, motivation, and friendly competition by combining individual contributions into a unified team score. This article focuses on how leaderboards calculate and display results across all challenge modes. 

For detailed instructions on enrolling in or creating a team, please refer to this article: How to enroll in a Team Challenge as an User?

Leaderboard Basics

To keep things balanced and encourage engagement, leaderboards use a fair and consistent approach:

• All logged activity for the selected metric is pooled together.
  
  

• The combined total is shared equally among all team members, regardless of individual participation.
  
  

Calculation Across Challenge Modes

1. Fitness Streak (Default)

• Metrics: Steps, Active Minutes, Distance, or Calories.
  
  

• Daily Targets: Members aim to meet a goal each day (for example, a step count goal).
  
  

• Display Approach: The total of all logged daily activity is equally allocated to every team member, ensuring balanced recognition of effort - even if not everyone is participating .

Example: If 2 out of 4 members are logging steps, their combined total will be split among all 4 team members to keep things balanced and encourage engagement.

2. Target Mode

• Cumulative Goal: A single overall target for the challenge period (for example, a combined step goal).
  
  

• Display Approach: As participants contribute toward the total target, their combined efforts are evenly shared among all members for leaderboard display.
  
  

3. Stick to Habit Mode

• Setup: A question with a preferred answer (for example, confirming completion of a daily habit).
  
  

• Goal: A specified completion rate over the challenge (for example, achieving the habit on the majority of days).
  
  

• Display Approach: The total number of positive habit confirmations is spread equally across all team members to reflect collective adherence.
  
  

4. Miscellaneous Mode

• Custom Metrics: Examples include percentage weight loss, water intake, or other measurable goals.
  
  

• Display Approach: Whatever the custom metric, the sum of all participants’ results is divided equally to produce each member’s leaderboard value.
  
  

Handling Inactive Members

• Inclusive Division: Team members who do not log activity are still part of the sharing process, maintaining consistency across the team.
