Team Leaderboard Mode

Understand how fair team scoring works (using averages) and learn how to set goals and team settings that keep competition balanced.

Fair, fun competition based on team averages — not team size

Team Leaderboard Mode brings out camaraderie, creativity, and healthy rivalry. The key to this mode is fairness: teams are scored by their average total activity per member, so a team of two has the same competitive chance as a team of ten.

No ties to team size. No stacking teams with super-steppers. Just balanced, lively competition.


🎯 What Team Leaderboard Measures

Team Leaderboard tracks total steps, minutes, or distance for each participant and converts those totals into a team average.


📏 What Goal You’ll Set

There is no individual or team goal in this mode.

Teams compete to reach the highest average total activity.

Admins configure:

  • Metric (steps, minutes, or distance)

  • Team setup preferences

  • Optional max team size

  • Optional Daily Activity Cap


🧠 How Team Scoring Works

Teams are scored using the same consistent formula across Stridekick:

Team Average = (Sum of all team members’ totals) ÷ (Number of team members)

This ensures every team — big or small — competes on an even playing field.

Example:

Team A: 4 members → 40,000 total minutes → 10,000 avg

Team B: 2 members → 21,000 total minutes → 10,500 avg

→ Team B wins despite being smaller.


💡 Best For

  • Teams, clubs, groups, classrooms

  • Friendly department vs. department competitions

  • Getting people to work together on a shared goal

  • Large groups (10–500+ people)

  • Challenges where team identity boosts engagement

Team Leaderboard consistently produces some of the highest message activity in group chats — team pride sparks excitement.


🧩 Pro Tip: Stack It With…

  • Streak → Daily consistency drives team performance

  • Target → Personal goals + team averages

Combining modes creates layered engagement: personal, team-based, and visual.
