League Cohort

Definition

The group of up to 30 MoveTogether users at your tier who compete against each other in a single Move League week. Cohorts form fresh every Monday at 00:00 UTC and disband at the next Monday reset.

How MoveTogether uses it.

MoveTogether builds league cohorts automatically, you don't pick. Cohorts fill in the order users at your tier engage during the week. The deliberate consequence is that you usually won't be in a cohort with your friends; leagues are about local comparison against strangers at your level, not direct friend competition (use the Friends leaderboard for that).

A cohort lasts exactly one week. At Monday reset, your final rank determines whether you promote (top N, varies by tier), demote (bottom 5), or hold. The next cohort forms immediately.

At Monday reset the cohort is scored, the outcome is written to your league history, and the group dissolves. Nothing carries over, so last week's lead is worth exactly nothing on Tuesday. That is deliberate: it stops a bad week compounding and stops a strong one turning into a coast. Because cohorts are assembled from users at your tier rather than from your friends list, the people around you change every week even when your tier does not. If you want a standing comparison against people you actually know, that is what the Friends leaderboard is for. A cohort is a weekly draw.
