How are athlete scores calculated?
Each week, every athlete gets a score built from their activity and audience engagement on Instagram. Five metrics are combined: Success, Impact, Strength, Pulse and Growth.
Example
Marco posts videos of his climbing competition. His likes and comments jump and he gains followers. His Success and Growth go up, his weekly score climbs, and so does every Marco card in a lineup.
The five metrics
- Success: overall engagement, likes and comments compared with followers.
- Impact: average engagement per post during the week.
- Strength: how much of the engagement comes from comments.
- Pulse: comments compared with the athlete's audience size.
- Growth: how many followers the athlete gained over the last week.
These metrics are weighted and combined into one weekly score. Each formula is shown in the score breakdown on the athlete's page.
During the week
Scores move day by day. The athlete page shows the daily scores of the current gameweek. The final weekly score is used for the results.
