Points, Streaks & Leaderboards
How scoring works, what makes a streak, and how records are set.
How points work
Every athlete has a points score that grows with training. There's no judging and no style marks — points come from a short list of simple things. The first five are yours to go and do; the last one needs your coach to assign you film first.
| You do this | You earn |
|---|---|
| Complete a workout | 10 points |
| Each minute of training | 1 point |
| Each of the first 10 days of your streak | 5 points |
| Beat your own personal best | 10 points |
| Measure an exercise for the first time | 10 points |
| Watch assigned film and get your review posted | 5 points |
A workout counts when you do the whole thing. End a workout too early and it's still saved, but it earns nothing — no points, no streak day and no tick on your schedule.
Example: an athlete with 20 workouts, 5 hours of total training, a 6-day streak and 2 personal records has 20×10 + 300×1 + 6×5 + 2×10 = 550 points. Notice the streak bonus: showing up regularly beats occasional marathon sessions.
Film your coach assigns
When a coach assigns you a video, finishing it earns 5 points — but both halves have to be done: you watch it to the end, and the review you write gets posted. A review that’s still waiting on the safety check, or one your coach sent back for another go, hasn’t earned it yet. Fix it and post it, and the points arrive then. It doesn’t matter which order you do the two halves in.
It’s once per video, however many times you rewrite the review — and it is one of the few things on this page you can’t go out and earn on your own, because only your coach can assign film. An XP Boost doesn’t double it either: the points land when your review is posted, which might be whenever your coach next opens the queue, and that shouldn’t decide what your writing was worth.
The streak bonus slows down as it grows
A streak always earns — it just takes longer to earn the next 5 points the longer it runs. Your first 10 days are worth 5 points each. After that, 5 points takes 2 days. After 10 of those, it takes 4 days, then 8, and so on.
| Streak | Bonus | Next 5 pts |
|---|---|---|
| 10 days | 50 | 2 days |
| 30 days | 100 | 4 days |
| 70 days | 150 | 8 days |
| 150 days | 200 | 16 days |
| 365 days | 255 | 32 days |
This is on purpose, and it cuts both ways. A long streak is genuinely worth more than a short one, forever — but a teammate on a 365-day run can still be caught by whoever trains hardest this week. Your flame, your streak goals, your chests and your best-streak record all count every single day regardless.
Streaks — the heartbeat of the app
Your streak is how many days in a row you've trained. Complete any workout on a day and that day counts — the flame in the top bar ticks up. Miss a full day and the streak resets to zero (unless it's protected — more on that below).
The streak rules, in plain words
- A finished workout counts the day. Do one program all the way through and your streak is safe — a run that ends too early doesn't count for anything. Days follow your own local timezone.
- Rest days count when they're scheduled. If your coach put a rest program on today's plan, completing it keeps the streak alive — recovery is training too.
- Streak goals (3, 7, 15, 30 days) put a treasure chest at the finish line — see the Doubloons guide.
- Freezes and restores from the marketplace can protect a streak (before a trip) or repair one (after a slip).
- Watch for Surge, the team mascot: he celebrates your streak, looks worried when it's in danger late in the evening, and is sad when it's gone. Don't make Surge sad.
Leaderboards — team standings & weekly leaders
Team standings (all-time)
The Team standings board — on the player Stats tab and the coach's Team stats view — ranks the whole roster by lifetime points. Everyone on the team appears, even brand-new athletes at zero, so there's always a next rung to climb. Alongside points you'll see each athlete's workouts, training time, and current streak.
Weekly leaders (this week)
The weekly leaderboard wipes the slate every week and scores only the current week — Sunday through Saturday — so a newer athlete who trains consistently can top the board over a veteran with a big lifetime total. The Sunday digest email reports on the week that just finished. Weekly scoring rewards consistency even more:
| This week you… | You earn |
|---|---|
| Complete a workout | 10 points |
| Each minute of training | 1 point |
| Each different day you train | 15 points |
The weekly leaders go out in a digest email to the team's families — a fun Sunday shout-out for the athletes who put the work in.
Records — personal bests & team bests
Records answer the question every athlete asks: "What's my best?" Deep Sea Dry Land tracks two kinds:
What can set a record
Only verified measurements count toward records:
- Sonar-verified results — reps and holds counted by the camera rep counter, from regular workouts or one-off record attempts on the Progress tab.
- Coach-measured metrics — results your coach records at practice (sprint times, jump distances, and so on).
Numbers an athlete types in themselves never set records. That's what keeps a record worth chasing — everyone knows it was really done.
Designed for fair, positive competition
- Effort is the only input. Points come from workouts, minutes, consistency, and beating your own best — things every athlete controls — never from wins, rankings, or coach favorites.
- Records require verification — a record can't be typed into existence; only Sonar-counted and coach-measured results qualify.
- Streaks respect rest. Scheduled rest days count, and freezes exist for vacations and recovery — the system never pushes training through injury.
- Personal progress is the headline. Most celebrations — PRs, streak goals, chests — compare you to yesterday's you, not to teammates.
