Can I create a challenge that is for intensity minutes?

I would like to invite my friends/family members with a very broad range of fitness levels to a challenge for accumulating intensity minutes. This would be more inclusive than the available options—is it possible??

Ah, so yet again, whiny jerks are why we can’t have nice things ‍ I’m floored that anyone would cheat at challenges with their connections but also amazed that anyone would complain to Garmin that their connections are cheating…ugh. Just don’t invite the cheaters to the next “fun” challenge, lol. Thank you for the link for suggestions!

No, it was not what I meant when telling that the Calories were strongly subjective. I did not mean cheaters. Those are everywhere, even with steps, or kilometers. I meant true discrepancies in the way Calories and IMs are very much depending on the proper set up, and on the way of use. Too many people have their devices misconfigured, or do not wear the watch at night, hence having high Resting HR, which then leads to wrong calculation of both IM and Calories. Wrong or missing weight, wrong activity class, etc., etc. are further frequent reasons causing the problems.
