6. Scoring mechanism
6.1 Individual score
MUV assigns each player a score proportional to the sustainable trips recorded via the MUV Game app, according to the service’s validation algorithms. Points are calculated based on distance travelled and mobility mode used, with additional bonuses for: weather conditions, altitude (for walking or cycling routes), peak traffic hours, home-school commutes, and frequency of app use.
6.2 Team score
Each team’s weekly result is determined by the sum of the points scored by the team’s top 3 players (best players) for that week, plus the average score of all other players. The other players contribute to the team’s energy and visibility through their activity and are included in the calculation of the result via their average score
In the event of a change in the average number of participants per team, MUV reserves the right to adjust the number of best players taken into account, giving prior notice to all teams.
6.3 Match point allocation
In the group stage and finals, the team with the highest weekly score wins the match and receives 3 points in the standings.
