Rules & scoring

Official rules, scoring mechanics, and prize information for the fitIQ Games 2025

Points scoring system

The fitIQ Games rewards the top 100 finishers in each event with points. The curve is steep at the top to reward elite performance, but everyone who makes the top 100 earns something.

Finishes outside the top 100 receive 0 points. Points are cumulative across all events you compete in.

Overall championship standings

Your overall championship position is determined by your total cumulative points across all events in the six main competitions:

  • Recovery
  • Strain
  • Sleep
  • Heart
  • Activity
  • Progress

Important: Side Quest events are fun bonus challenges but do not count towards your overall championship points or ranking. They have their own prizes!

Tie-breaking rules

If multiple participants have the same points total, ties are broken by:

  1. Best single event finish - The person with the highest individual event placement (e.g., 1st place beats 2nd place)
  2. Average rank across all events - The person with the best average finishing position across all events they entered

This rewards both consistency and peak performance across the championship.

Leaderboard visibility & scoring

You have full control over your leaderboard visibility. However, if you opt out of appearing on a leaderboard, you will not be eligible to earn points towards that event, competition, or the overall championship.

To be eligible for prizes, you must be visible on the relevant leaderboard(s).

Any changes will be made fairly and communicated to all participants. Our goal is to ensure fair competition while preventing system abuse.

Fair play & anti-exploitation

  • Remove individuals from specific event leaderboards

  • Forfeit prizes for affected events or competitions

We really don't want to do this! Our aim is to celebrate your genuine achievements. Compete honestly, have fun, and let your real performance shine.
