scoring, squads & rosters
Scoring
Scoring in the League will be facilitated by Archon’s unique algorithms, which consider factors such as height, weight, age, and sex assigned at birth. This innovative approach ensures a truly level playing field, allowing participants of all backgrounds and abilities to compete on equal footing.
Squads
Just like in traditional sports, squads will be formed with unlimited numbers of members who train at the gym. This gives purpose to training and fosters a sense of camaraderie and teamwork among members.
Fixtures
The fixtures reflect the movements that members perform every day in the gym. This alignment enhances participation and engagement by making the competitions relevant and accessible to all members of the community.
Rosters
Each squad will have a designated captain who will select 10 participants for each fixture. These participants will compete in the designated movement, and their scores will contribute to their GFL league table.
Season
The inaugural season of the league will run from March 2025 to September 2025. So you have from now until January to get yourself ready. Use the league as your selling point to gain new members in January give away Grenade Bars for everyone who signs up with you by March.
Fixtures
We’ve meticulously selected 8 fixtures that encompass a well-rounded approach to fitness, incorporating the key movements and exercises commonly practiced in the gym. Below, we’ve outlined all the fixtures in advance, so you know what to expect and when.
divisions
In line with the evolution of any competitive league, we aim to establish divisions to accommodate the diverse capabilities and aspirations of each league. The Division Principle ensures that partaking gyms can field multiple squads across different divisions, fostering inclusivity and maximising participation.
This structure promotes a more participatory exercise, allowing other gyms ample opportunities for representation and success.
Furthermore, the introduction of divisions enables league participants to experience promotion and relegation dynamics, mirroring the competitive spirit of traditional sports leagues. This dynamic system encourages growth, fair competition, and continuous improvement across all levels of participation.
