StrideQuest Game Rules

1. Result Submission

The user selects the event and then the race they participated in. For each participation, they must provide:

• finish time
• ranking in their gender category

Each submission is reviewed by the game administrators before approval.

2. Result Approval and Points Allocation

After the result is approved, an algorithm automatically assigns the user a random number of points within a predefined range for that specific race.

Points do not depend on finish time or ranking, but are randomly generated within the defined range.

3. Multiple Races in the Same Event

If a user participates in two or more races within the same event, they receive points for each race.

However, only the highest score is counted toward their total for that event.

Each user therefore has one final score per event.

4. Bulk Result Submission by Organizers

In some cases, race organizers may submit results directly to StrideQuest in bulk.

If the user has registered for the race using the same email as their StrideQuest account:

• automatic matching is performed
• the result and corresponding points are automatically assigned

In this case, the user does not need and is not allowed to submit the same result manually.

5. Editing Submissions

Users can modify a submitted result only while it is pending approval.

After approval, no modifications are allowed by the user

For bulk submissions, no user modifications are allowed

6. Corrections After Approval

If an error is identified after approval, the user may contact the StrideQuest team via email.

Administrators may correct:

• finish time
• ranking

Points already assigned will not be changed.

7. Submission of Past Results (Trial Period)

During the initial trial phase of the game, users may submit results from races that took place before their registration.

The end of the trial period will be determined and announced by the administrators.

After the trial period, a time limit for submitting past results will be defined.

8. Teams

Users who are not already part of a team can create one.

The creator of the team is assigned as the team leader. Each team can have up to five (5) members.

The team leader can:

• invite users who are not part of another team
• transfer leadership to another team member

The team leader cannot leave the team unless leadership has first been transferred.

9. Team Scoring

Team points are calculated per event as follows:

• If at least one member participates, the team receives that member’s points
• If multiple members participate, the team receives the highest score among them

For a member’s points to count:

• the member must have joined the team before the race date
• and must not have left the team before the race took place

Otherwise, their points will not count toward the team.

10. Event Chains

Event chains are groups of races linked together within the game.

If a user participates in and earns points from all races in a chain, they receive bonus points.

Bonus points:

• are predefined for each chain
• may be awarded fully or partially

If the user does not participate in all races, a reduced bonus may be awarded, depending on the chain rules

11. Fair Participation and Identity

Users must participate using their real identity.

The following are not allowed:

• participation by another person on behalf of the user
• use of false or misleading information

In case of violation:

• points may be reset
• the user may be disqualified from the game

12. Duplicate Submissions

Submitting the same race more than once is not allowed.

In case of technical errors or system issues that result in duplicate entries, administrators reserve the right to correct or remove duplicate records.

13. Technical Issues

StrideQuest makes every effort to ensure proper system operation.

However, the following may occur:

• technical errors
• processing delays
• incorrect calculations

In such cases, administrators reserve the right to make corrections or adjustments to ensure proper game functionality.

14. Leaderboard

User and team rankings are based on the game’s scoring rules.

Rankings may change:

• due to corrections
• after validation or updates of results

15. Age Requirement

Participation in the game is allowed only for users aged 13 and above.

For users under 18, it is assumed that parental or guardian consent has been granted

16. Right to Modify or Terminate the Game

StrideQuest reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the game at any time.

17. Final Decision

The StrideQuest administrators reserve the right to review all submissions and to approve, reject, or correct data when necessary.

In case of dispute, the administrators’ decision is final.
