Earning Points

Earn points while you work out doing activities like surfing, yoga, meditation, running, rowing, rucking, and 200 plus other activities. The Moove® Point System (MPS) was developed by leading kinesiologists in their field.

Honor System

In life one of the most important qualities we can exemplify is integrity. So, like any other virtual sporting style competition event we live by the rule of “If you don’t feel good about entering, then you shouldn’t enter it”. Please be honest in your entries! If an activity is trackable via a wearable or a phone app, please use that for ease and accuracy. This competition is to support the First Responder Institute and the Firefighter Challenge League in continuing its important mission.

Rules & Regulations from Moove®

Good sportsmanship is the number one rule of Moove®. That includes but is not limited to the following:

Timely point entry: Log your activities as you go.

Your team and competitors can track point standings instantly with the app. Logging points late is unfair and easily avoided, as everyone uses their phones regularly. moove® may check your screen time—don't risk forgetting to record your activity. To learn more on how to connect your Apple Health (iOS) or Health Connect (Android) see below.

Substitutions: (for league play)

There are no substitutions allowed in this competition. This prevents late stacking from occurring.

Moovements and Point Values:

Any time or miles/reps entered should represent an activity done with the intent of exercising/moving your body.

·       Day-to-day activities (ex. laundry and grocery shopping) do not earn points.

·       Double counting is NOT allowed. For example, If there are squats in your exercise class, you cannot earn points for both the class minutes and the squats. You must choose one or the other [Pro tip: Choose the one that earns you more points.]

Point Entry:

At the end of the day, we want this competition to be fun, fair, and feel good for all who participate.

·       All players must input scores as close as possible to the time the activity/exercise was completed.

·       If you or a teammate forgets to enter, points CANNOT be retroactively added to a previous day’s score.

·       In the final hour of each week’s competition, no team member may enter more than 30 points in that final hour.

·       Holding points is *NOT* allowed!
