Spring is upon us, and therefore we welcome you to the Spring Season 2024, the first official season of the new Legends format. We hope to leave the wind, rain, and darkness of winter behind and let the elements of spring excite you to put on sports clothes, get active, and stay healthy.
Our goal is to get you excited and prepared for the upcoming months and to motivate you to elevate your heart rate. We will share some information and tips to help you get the most out of this season, and we will introduce some competition to give it an extra edge.
Season Build-up
During the year we will have four seasons which we will use to keep your attention on staying active. Each season has two parts; The first three weeks will be used to get you ready for the season and to assign you to the right league. Then you will compete in leagues with two week intervals.
Scoring XP with Activities
In order to facilitate competition among individuals engaging in different types of activities, we need to compare sports and establish correlations between them. This task is not straightforward and involves a degree of subjectivity. Our aim is not to prioritize the fastest, best, or strongest individuals in certain sports; rather, we simply want to reward people for completing activities.
Therefore, we have allocated points to every distance or time tracked during activities, regardless of how well or how fast those activities were performed. This list of assigned points was compiled through brainstorming and consultations with individuals to gather their perspectives. The list is not perfect and may be subject to change throughout the year. However, these are the current rates per sport for the first season.

Scoring Points in a League
Depending on the number of participants, we will establish a certain number of competing leagues. At the end of each two weeks, all leagues will conclude, and participants will be awarded points based on their ranking. These awarded points will be accumulated determining the season ranking. After four league sessions, the season will conclude and we will crown a season winner.
Using Strava as Input
For the Legends Seasons, we exclusively use data from Strava as input. This means that you need to have a Strava profile to participate in this season. Additionally, there is an option to manually add activities on Strava, which can be useful for individuals without a sports watch or for activities where smartwatches or phones are not allowed, such as soccer matches.
