Formula & fair play

How every move counts.

Every sport counts. +1 daily bonus for every active day. Season 1 from 1 November. Beat the Pro. Fair play in three tiers. With us, it’s forwards only.

The formula

Open, fair and easy for anyone to check.

The basic formula comes from Jan. Endurance sports count by distance and elevation gain, all other sports by time and intensity. On top, there’s a bonus for every active day.

Running, walking, hiking1 point per kmplus 1 point per 100 m of elevation gain10 km = 10 points
Cycling0.4 points per km150 m of elevation gain earns 1 extra point40 km = 16 points
Swimming4 points per kmpool and open water1 km = 4 points
All others2 to 10 per hourdepending on sport, easy or intense90 min football match = 15 points
Daily bonus+1 point per dayfrom 20 minutes of exercise, all the day’s sessions combinedmax. 1 per day
E-bike, motorised0 pointsdoesn’t count for the league

Treadmill, turbo trainer and Zwift count by distance, but not their elevation gain. Days are counted in German time.

Do the maths

Formula 1.0
5.4points
+1 daily bonus

5 km × 1 + 40 m up ÷ 100

The daily bonus counts once a day. Walk for 20 minutes every day and you’ll collect 30 bonus points in a month.

Fair play

Three tiers to keep it fair.

The better a session is backed up, the more it counts. That way nobody can jump to the top with made-up hours.

No upper limit · counts for prizes

Tracked

Recorded with a watch, fitness app or as a file (FIT, GPX, TCX).

up to 2 hours a day

Checked in

With a photo of the venue and a running timer. Ideal for football, the weights room or your yoga class.

up to 1 hour a day

Logged manually, without proof. Counts, but with a limit.

  • Duplicate entries are detected automatically
  • Jan personally checks suspicious values, such as car speed on a run
Prizes and appeals

If you win, you have to be able to prove it.

To make sure prizes go to the people who have really earned them, these rules apply every season.

  1. Measured counts for prizes. For prize places, only sessions recorded with a watch or fitness app count. Sessions logged later count for the rankings, but not for prizes.
  2. Check before awarding. Anyone who finishes in a prize place shows the recordings in their watch or sports app on request, for example as a screenshot. Without proof, the next person moves up.
  3. Jan checks anything suspicious. Sessions with unrealistic pace, elevation gain or duration only count once he has approved them. The same file only counts once.
  4. Appeals. Up to 7 days after the end of the month by email to hallo@ligaroo.de. We reply within 7 days.
  5. Play fair. Anyone who falsifies data is removed from the rankings and loses any prizes won.
  6. Prizes. The prizes are set before each season. Non-cash prizes are not paid out in cash. We notify winners by email.
Planned from January 2027

The Ligaroo season: leagues, races and a final.

In November and December we’re starting with monthly challenges. Once enough people are on board, it becomes a full season: with leagues at your level and a race series like Formula 1. Here’s the plan.

01

Leagues by level

Divisions of 20 people at your level, from the local league up to the Elite League. Every month the top 4 go up and the bottom 4 go down. So you always have opponents at your level.

02

Ligaroo Race

Every month is a race in your class. The top 10 get points like in Formula 1, and anyone active on at least 8 days gets 5 extra points. The best 8 of 11 races count.

03

Status: bronze, silver, gold

Hit 8 active days in 3, 6 or 9 months of a year and your status goes up. Make it to the final and you’re Elite.

04

Masters in December

The best in each class plus a wildcard face off in a knockout format over three weeks. At the end: the title “Ligaroo Champion 2027”.

To be honest: leagues and classes start as soon as there are enough people in a class. Details may still change until January. Anyone taking part in November and December is already collecting towards their status.
