I am in a 40k challenge, with others who walk at my level. Last week the winner of the challenge had 74,000 steps, close to twice as many as several people in the challenge. That was frustrating enough, but I see he is back again this week, already after one day having twice as many steps as the rest of us. It appears his normal step count is more than 10k a day. What is the point of dividing up the challenges into step counts if someone with twice as many steps are not moved to a challenge filled with people walking at their level? None of us in this group will ever be able to win this challenge if they don't move him. Does anyone pay any attention to these challenges?
I haven't had my watch two weeks yet and the first partial week I was just in a 'how many steps can you do in a week challenge'. I was top 3 I think and was put into an 85 k step challenge last week. I was leader of that on Sunday evening and the next morning I was still in first place. It goes through a 12 hour evaluation phase as far as I can see and I was still leader of it when it finished its evaluation but when I looked today for this week I noticed below it someone else got last week's winner! How did that happen 12 hours after it finished and I was in lead all the way? Just curious. Not a biggie. I finished with 110 k steps but still in the 85 k challenge this week. Winner suddenly came from nowhere with 122k. I can see above people sync late in the evening but surely that would show up on the evaluation screen leaderboard?
