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.
