Apple watch competition jumping to 600 points with no or very little activity

I can understand why it’s percentage based and not solely on calories, because this allows someone who’s motivating themselves for, say, a couch to 5k and has a move goal of 300 calories to be able to complete with thier friend who runs marathons and has a 600 calorie move goal, and it’ll still be a fair competition. On the other hand, being able to change your daily move goal each day and still keep the leveled points is definitely a flaw in the system, maybe the daily move should be locked in for each competitor at the beginning of the seven day challenge. Secondly, there’s a 600 point daily max which the person I’m currently competing with and I have hit consecutively each day, meaning that we’re both going to likely end up tying. We’re both fairly active so the 600 point cap is a huge damper because he does a solid morning workout and I do an afternoon hike and we’re both tied and capped out at 600 for the day. Would love to see this cap raised drastically or removed altogether.

I was thinking the same thing. Just started a competition with my girlfriend and luckily we both had our move goals set to 500. Maybe that’s something to keep in mind when starting one- have the move goals set the same? Though I wish that when you started one and the other person accepted you could also set and lock what the move goal would be for that competition.

600 point cap is BS. I have 1200 in me easy
