Running a team

If you run an organisation, open it from the More tab and hit "Create team". You become its owner, so you can invite people and enter it into challenges straight away. You can run more than one team if you need to split a big group up.

Open your team from the More tab and hit "Copy invite link". Anyone who opens that link joins your team — if they don't have an account yet it walks them through creating one first, then drops them straight in.

No. It's one link for the whole team, so you can put it in an email, a group chat or a calendar invite and let people join in their own time.

Owners and captains can rename the team, manage members and enter the team into challenges. Members just walk and log. You can change anyone's role from the team page.

Both are blocked on purpose, so a team can never end up with nobody who can manage it. Promote someone else to owner first, then step back.

Remove them from the member list and send them the right link. Nothing they logged is lost — their step history belongs to them, not to the team.

Go to the Challenges tab, find the one you want and hit Join. Only owners and captains can do this, and only one team of yours goes in at a time.

Browse shows published challenges that haven't finished yet, including ones already under way — you can still bring a team in after the start, they just have the earlier days to catch up on. Anything missing is either unpublished or already over. Challenges your team has joined move up to "Your challenges" rather than staying on the join list.

Yes, as long as nobody on the team has logged any steps in it yet. Once there are steps on the board, leaving would quietly delete real results and shuffle everyone else's ranking, so you'll need an admin to sort it out instead.

Yes. On the Steps tab you can switch to any member of your team and fill in their days. It's meant for helping someone who's stuck rather than doing it for everyone.

On average steps per member per day, not the total. Every day of the challenge counts for everyone who has logged at least once, so a member who logs twice and then stops pulls the average down. Members who never log at all are left out of the average entirely — so adding people who don't log neither helps you nor hurts you.

After the challenge ends there's a grace period for people to finish logging. Once an administrator finalises it, the standings are frozen and the results page opens — team winners, top individuals and a most-valuable walker for each team.

The challenge analytics page breaks it down: a daily curve, who's logging and who has gone quiet, how your team compares day by day, and the records set along the way.
