Teams will be randomly divvied up once entries close on Friday 9 February. This is to give you some small pods of Bashers with whom you can encourage and sledge onward to more steps.<\/p>\n<p>The basics way it works is you each individually get points for your activity each day (midnight &#8211; midnight Shanghai time).<\/p>\n<p>Most of you have step counters on your mobile devices, some of you have wristband things which do the same.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One point is scored for each 5000 steps<\/strong> with no partial points. So if at 11pm you&#8217;re on 8800 steps get out and do a block to get the extra point.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One point is scored for each half an hour of vigorous exercise\u00a0<\/strong>(swimming lengths, playing rugby, cycling, working out on the Granny gym in your compound\u2026). Masturbating and left elbow bends don&#8217;t count.<\/p>\n<p>You can&#8217;t get double points for an activity. i.e. if you spend half an hour doing 5000steps on a treadmill, you don&#8217;t get two points, only one counts.<\/p>\n<p>Team captains will collect stats and submit them weekly.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll do a weigh in on Thursday 8th and see if any of us can drop some some of that.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll also be asked to submit your pre-challenge averages so we can see who is most improved.<\/p>\n<p>There will be a couple of double points days, one compulsory date to be announced later and one optional for each team to decide themselves (Decide a day your team can get together and go hard)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll set up a WeChat group and each team can have their own support group chat.<\/p>\n<p>Final day will be Saturday 10 March, immediately prior to the season opening sixes, by which time we should all be in tip top shape.<\/p>\n<p>Get into it!
