5. POINT SYSTEM & SUBMISSIONS

5.1 General Points are earned by completing action items within the TrainWithMe app during the Challenge Period. Each completed action item earns one point regardless of difficulty or tier level. Points accumulate throughout the six-week Challenge Period and are tallied at the close of the Challenge on May 31, 2026.

5.2 Self-Reported Actions
Certain action items are self-reported on the honor system. By submitting a self-reported action item the participant certifies that the activity described was completed honestly, accurately, and in full compliance with the stated requirements of that action item. False or misleading self-reported submissions constitute a violation of these rules.

5.3 Proof-Required Actions
Certain action items require submission of supporting proof including but not limited to photographs, videos, time lapse recordings, screenshots, or written descriptions as specified in each individual action item. Submissions that do not meet the stated proof requirements for that action item will not be accepted for credit.

5.4 Good Faith Standard
All submissions, whether self-reported or proof-required, are subject to review by ASD coaching staff, administration, and management. ASD reserves the sole and absolute right to disqualify any submission that in the judgment of ASD staff does not reflect honest, good faith participation in the spirit of the Challenge. This includes but is not limited to submissions that appear fabricated, manipulated, recycled from prior submissions, duplicated across multiple action items, or otherwise inconsistent with the stated requirements or intent of the action item. The determination of whether a submission meets the good faith standard is made at the sole discretion of ASD staff and is final and non-appealable.

5.5 Submission Limits
Each action item specifies a maximum number of submissions permitted per week. Submissions exceeding the stated weekly maximum will not be counted. Participants are responsible for tracking their own submission limits. ASD is not responsible for submissions that exceed weekly maximums or that are submitted outside the Challenge Period.

5.6 Technical Issues
ASD is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, corrupted, or misdirected submissions due to technical failures of the TrainWithMe platform or any other technical issue beyond ASD’s reasonable control. In the event of a technical failure affecting point tracking, ASD reserves the right to make reasonable adjustments at its sole discretion.

6. WINNER DETERMINATION
At the close of the Challenge Period on May 31, 2026 the participant with the highest total verified point count will be declared the First Place winner. Second Place and Third Place winners will be determined by the second and third highest total verified point counts respectively.

In the event of a tie in total point count between two or more participants the tied participants will be ranked by the total number of proof-required action item submissions completed during the Challenge Period. If a tie remains after this secondary ranking ASD reserves the right to determine the final winner at its sole discretion using any reasonable tiebreaking method.

Winners will be notified by email and/or phone within seven business days of the close of the Challenge Period using the contact information provided at registration. If a winner cannot be contacted or does not respond within five business days of notification ASD reserves the right to award the prize to the next eligible participant in the final point ranking order.
