Points and leaderboards
Sparkies scores consistency, not speed. The fastest runner in the club does not automatically win anything, and that is deliberate.
Distance does not matter. Pace does not matter. If you moved for 20 minutes or more and logged it, it scores.
Bonus points for running easy, because the boring aerobic miles are the ones that actually build you, and nobody does enough of them.
Show up week after week and the streak pays. Miss one and nothing is confiscated, you just start it again.
Recovery walks and everyday movement count. Doing a little still beats doing nothing, and your Tribe still benefits.
Commenting, reacting and showing up for other people scores too. This is a club, not a spreadsheet.
Virtual races carry their own points, and race weekends are usually when the monthly board changes shape.
Exact values shift a little between monthly rounds so no single tactic runs away with it. The current numbers always live in the app.
Where the points land
Your Tribe. Every point you earn lifts your team of three up the monthly board. The top Tribe wins the prize.
Your country. Eligible activity feeds the world board, so your Tuesday jog helps your flag climb.
You. Individual leaderboards, personal bests and the occasional random draw, because sometimes performance does matter.
How tribes workWin with your Tribe, win individually, or get lucky in a random draw. Shoes, headphones, running gear and plenty more. Sometimes performance matters. Sometimes showing up is enough.
