Rules – SAGEO 2026 Challenge

1. Promoters

This challenge is an initiative of MUV B Corp and the SAGEO 2026 organising committee, the international conference on Geographic Information Science of the GdR MAGIS (CNRS).

2. Duration

Challenge period: from 8:00 p.m. on 17 November 2026 to 10:30 a.m. on 20 November 2026 (Paris time).

Registration for the challenge opens on 10 November 2026. Only trips made during the challenge period are counted.

3. Geographical Scope

The challenge takes place in the Toulouse urban area and is visible in the MUV Game app only to users located within this area. It aims to promote more sustainable ways of travelling among conference participants.

4. How the Challenge Works

4.1 Who can take part?

The challenge is open to all MUV Game users who record their sustainable trips through the app, using the eligible modes. Any email address can be used to register: no institutional email is required.

To earn points, trips must start or end at the conference venue, INP-ENSAT (École Nationale Supérieure Agronomique de Toulouse), Av. de l’Agrobiopole, 31326 Auzeville-Tolosane, identified in the app and in the challenge as a Place.

When registering, participants may be asked a few short questions about their mobility habits, used for statistical purposes and to estimate the environmental impact of the challenge.

4.2 Goal of the Challenge

This is a Collaborative Challenge: all players contribute to a collective score to reach three thresholds.

✅ Each threshold reached unlocks badges and widens access to the prize draw.
✅ The points earned by each participant are added to the overall total.
✅ The collective score determines whether the challenge goals are achieved.

4.3 How to earn points

Participants earn points by recording their sustainable trips with the MUV Game app, provided that:

🔹 The trip is tracked through the app.
🔹 The starting point or destination is the Place.
🔹 The trip is made with one of the eligible modes (§4.4).
🔹 The route is validated by MUV’s automatic algorithms.

Trips that do not meet these requirements do not count towards the score.

4.4 Eligible modes of transport

Eligible modes: walking, cycling, e-bike or e-scooter, public transport, intercity bus, train/metro and carpooling.

Electric cars and any other motor vehicle used outside carpooling are excluded.

5. Trip Tracking and Verification

  • To record a trip, simply press “PLAY” and select the chosen mode among the eligible ones.
  • Once tracking starts, information on the user’s location and activity is collected; it is needed to validate the route.
  • If you change mode during the trip, press “SWITCH” and select the new mode. The change must be declared even for a short walk between two means of transport: otherwise that leg is not validated.
  • At the end of the trip, press “STOP” to end tracking and start automatic validation and point allocation.
  • The trip detail screen shows the points earned. If a trip was not validated by mistake, a new check can be requested through the “Give us feedback” option, available in the trip detail screen or in the app’s side menu.
  • Points for each certified sustainable trip are proportional to the distance travelled and the mode used. Additional bonuses apply based on several factors, including weather conditions, altitude (walking and cycling only), peak traffic hours, home-work or home-school trips and frequency of app use.

Tracking requires the device’s location services to be enabled; they are used exclusively to validate sustainable trips and for statistical and research purposes.

We recommend disabling battery or power saving modes, which may interfere with trip recording. MUV accepts no liability for lost GPS points or trips caused by device malfunctions, disconnections or other third-party technical issues.

More details are available in the app’s “Support” section and in the Terms and Conditions of use.

6. Prizes and Allocation

⚠️ Section being finalised (draft). Prizes are offered by the SAGEO 2026 organisers and are currently being defined. Their number and description will be added before publication.

Prizes are awarded by draw among the top players in the ranking. The number of participants admitted to the draw increases as three collective score thresholds are reached.

6.1 Draw Mechanism

🎟️ Each player admitted to the draw receives a number of tickets proportional to their ranking position: the higher the ranking, the more tickets.

Winning tickets are drawn at random among those allocated to admitted players. The chance of winning depends on the number of admitted players and the number of tickets received: as thresholds are reached, more players join the draw, while the number of prizes stays the same.

6.2 Prizes

[N] prizes are available, awarded to the [N] players drawn, in order of draw:

  • [Prize 1, description and value]
  • [Prize 2, description and value]
  • [Prize 3, description and value]

⛔ Each player can win only one prize.

6.3 Point Thresholds and Access to the Draw

First threshold – 250 collective points
→ draw among the top 5 players.

Second threshold – 1,000 collective points
→ draw among the top 10 players.

Third threshold – 5,000 collective points
→ draw among the top 15 players.

7. Winner Announcement and Prize Delivery

Winners will be announced at the SAGEO 2026 award ceremony, on 20 November 2026 from 12:30 to 12:45 p.m.

Prize management and delivery are handled by the SAGEO 2026 organisers, outside the MUV Game app. Winners will be contacted by email by the organisers, who will provide collection details. MUV is not responsible for prize distribution.

8. Nature of the Initiative

📢 This initiative has charitable and social purposes and participation is free of charge: it therefore does not fall within the prize promotions governed by Italian Presidential Decree no. 430 of 26 October 2001 (art. 6, para. 1, letter e).

9. Privacy and Data Processing

9.1 Personal data protection

🔒 To run the challenge, information on trips recorded through the app is collected and processed.

✔️ All personal data is handled in compliance with applicable law (EU Regulation 2016/679, GDPR).
✔️ More information in the 👉 Privacy Policy

9.2 Use of data for research and teaching

By taking part in the challenge, users acknowledge and accept that the mobility data collected during the challenge, in anonymised form, may be:

  • made available to the SAGEO 2026 organising committee in aggregated form (dashboard with participation indicators, modal split, CO2 avoided and calories);
  • published in a public repository (GitLab) for research and teaching purposes only, excluding any commercial use.

Published GPS traces are anonymised: start and end points other than the conference venue (such as homes or accommodation) are obfuscated. Data is released under a Creative Commons CC BY licence and any reuse requires citing MUV as the source.
