Scoring Rules

Each checkpoint location has a fixed point value, a surface (Road or Gravel), and a category. Points are awarded based on the locations you've passed through on your imported Strava rides.

How points are calculated

For every athlete, the scoring runs over all of their rides as follows:

1. Each location counts at most once. If you visit the same checkpoint on multiple rides, only your earliest ride gets credit for it.
2. Locations are grouped by surface. Road and Gravel are scored independently — each surface has its own ranking and its own point total.
3. Within a surface, only one location per category counts per ride. For each category visited on a ride, the highest-point location in that category is kept; the others are dropped.
4. Top 3 categories per surface per ride. After collapsing each category to its best location, only the three highest-scoring categories on that surface count toward your score for that ride. Anything beyond the top three is dropped.

Group bonus

Riding with friends pays off. If a ride was recorded with a group of 5 or more athletes (as reported by Strava), every location scored on that ride receives a 50% bonus on top of its base points.

The athlete count comes from Strava's activity metadata. Bonus points are rounded up and shown separately from base points.

Tie-breaking

When two locations within the same category and surface have identical point values, the location you reached first along the ride's GPS track wins.

Track matching

A location counts as visited when your GPS track passes within 50 meters of it (geodesic distance). Activities are imported from Strava automatically; only rides with GPS data can score points.
