Workout Based

Workout Based scoring is the natural fit for serious athletes, runners, cyclists, lifters, whose training is structured into discrete workout sessions rather than spread across daily activity. It plays well with Strava, Garmin Connect, and Polar Flow, all of which are workout-centric platforms.

It's also the recommended scoring method when WHOOP users are in the competition. MoveTogether reads strain, calories and workouts from WHOOP rather than step data, so Workout Based scoring captures their effort accurately. Step Count or Raw Numbers would under-count WHOOP users.

The qualifying bar is one logged workout longer than fifteen minutes in a day, and each qualifying day is worth a single point. All-day passive activity is excluded by design, which is what makes the method resistant to the step distortions that come from a busy job or a long commute. It also flattens volume deliberately: a ninety-minute ride and a sixteen-minute run score identically. If your group wants long sessions to count for more, Exercise Minutes or Raw Numbers reward duration directly. Workout Based answers a narrower and blunter question, which is simply whether you trained that day.
