Team and Rider Classification Concepts

Questions:

Riders on my team are in the X department. We want to compete against teams in Y group. How can we do that?

I know teams in the Bike to Work Month contest are only for a single organization, but I belong to a racing team. How can my racing team compete against other teams?

I want to compete against Sally at XYZ company and with Ted at University of Blah? Can we create a custom report?

Answer:

Classify, Classify, Classify!

Identify your team's main group by entering in your: department, store, location, etc.
Define team Sub-group(s) by adding as many tags as you like.
Team members can classify their group and sub group separately.
Team members can have Sub-group tags that are different from Person Sub-Group tags.
Riders will always list under the team's group/subgroup in team and organization rankings pages.

Classification Details

Important things to know:

Teams and Riders can each be separately classified with two levels of classification:
- Group (one value, hopefully. Don't overload like with "Marketing - Seattle")
- Sub-group (zero, one, or many values)
Team Rankings Reports are sortable by Organization, and can be filtered by Organization, Group and Sub-group
Organization Rankings don't break down by Group and Sub-group
Organization Detail Pages (click on an Org in the Organization Rankings) list this info about one organization:
- A Ranking of all Groups (formerly Departments) in the organization
- A list of all teams in the organization
- A list of all riders in the organization
By entering in one or more Sub-groups, you can create infinite Mini-Challenges. Click here for more information about Mini-Challenges
