In case the WOD competition is “For Time,” the scoring is reviewed in two scenarios:
1) Score as Time: If you complete the WOD before the time cap, you need to submit the time it took to finish the workout.
2) Score as Reps: If you are unable to finish the WOD within the time cap, you need to submit the total number of reps completed during the time cap. To do this, click on the “Time” option and select “Rep” mode.
- The scoring on the leaderboard is based on athletes who complete the WOD in the shortest time being ranked higher, followed by those who perform more reps if they do not finish within the time cap.
If the WOD game is of the AMRAP type, you should enter the total number of repetitions completed within the given time as your score.
For example, if you completed 3 rounds and each round consisted of 20 movements, you should enter 60 repetitions as your score.
- The scoring on the leaderboard is based on athletes who have completed more repetitions being ranked higher
If the WOD game is of the AHAP type, you should enter the heaviest weight you have lifted as your score.
- The scoring on the leaderboard is based on athletes who have achieved higher records being ranked higher.
If the WOD game is of the interval type, you should enter the total number of repetitions completed during the specified time intervals as your score.
- The scoring on the leaderboard is based on athletes who have completed more repetitions being ranked higher.
If the WOD game is of the EMOM type, you should enter the total remaining time in each round as your score. For example, if you have 10 seconds remaining in the first round, 5 seconds in the second round, and 3 seconds in the third round, you should enter the total of these times, which is 18 seconds, as your score.
- The scoring on the leaderboard is based on athletes who have more time entered, meaning those who complete each round in less time will be ranked higher.
If the WOD game is of the Fitness type, you should enter the total time taken to complete the WOD as your score. For example, which athlete has the longest plank hold record?
- The scoring on the leaderboard is based on athletes who have more time entered, meaning those who complete each round in less time will be ranked higher.
