Nominations ​

Nominations are a way to automatically determine winners in tournaments and events based on predefined criteria.

Why Are Nominations Needed? ​

Nominations make competitions more engaging and motivating. They:

• Automate the winner determination process: Results are calculated based on participant data and their calculated standings, eliminating subjectivity.
• Diversify award formats: Participants can win not only in the overall standings but also in special categories.
• Increase engagement: Participants strive not only for first place but also to meet unique nomination conditions.
• Make events memorable: Each nomination adds individuality to the tournament. Nomination winners receive award badges that remain visible in their profiles.

How Do Nominations Work? ​

1. Setting Criteria: Tournament organizers define conditions for each nomination. For example:

   • Covering the longest distance.
   • Having the highest average pace.
   • Achieving personal goals.

   Or more complex ones:

   • To earn a gold award, certain conditions must be met; for silver, others, and so on.
   • One nomination is awarded to all participants, while another is split into male and female categories.

2. Automatic Calculation: The system analyzes participant data (workouts, points, achievements) and determines winners in each nomination after the workout submission period ends.

3. Awarding: Winners receive prizes, badges, or other awards displayed in their profiles and on the tournament page.

Examples of Nominations ​

Here are some popular types of nominations that can be used in tournaments:

1. Distance Leader ​

• Criterion: Participant who covered the longest distance during the tournament.
• Example: "Runner of the Year" — an award for the longest distance in the running category.

2. Most Consistent Participant ​

• Criterion: Participant who trained daily or most frequently during the tournament.
• Example: "True Marathoner" — an award for consistency.

3. Team Spirit ​

• Criterion: Team or club earning the most points or completing the most tasks.
• Example: "Best Team" — an award for the collective contribution of all members.

4. Personal Record ​

• Criterion: Participant who achieved the greatest improvement compared to their previous results.
• Example: "Breakthrough of the Year" — an award for improving a personal record.

5. Fastest Pace ​

• Criterion: Participant who demonstrated the highest average pace in one or more workouts.
• Example: "Lightning" — an award for speed.

How to Know If I’ve Won? ​

After the tournament ends, the system automatically determines winners for each nomination. Results are published on the tournament page and displayed in your profile.
