Step challenge (mini competition)

Hello fellow competitors. I would like to invite you to additional competition during our challenge. Of course it has been consulted with our organiser 
The competition would be about measuring our level of physical activity (by counting steps taken throughout a day) and therefore motivating us to move more and lose even more weight.
Prerequisite to participate is possesing ONLY ONE of the following:
- iPhone or Android phone (with installed free Moves app)
- Fitbit device
- Jawbone device
- Withings Pulse
So as you see – almost anyone is able to join.
The app / webpage we would use is called https://matchup.io/ . It’s currently in beta, but works fine (tested it myself). You cannot register on your own, but I can sent you an invite as I’m already a member.
How it would work exactly:
„Matchup treats your competition like a real sports league. That means you'll be matched up against a new opponent every day.” – which looks as below:
We can check our current standing all the time:
There are other cassifications also:
Or
There is also a message board where we can additionally motivate each other or boast about our achievements;)
The competition will start on 5th July so everyone would have time to join and it would last to the end of this challenge. It won't be possible to join after it starts unfortunately.
I’m open to your questions / suggestions of course.
IMPORTANT:
To join I need you to click on the link below and register with mfp name, so we would know who is who;) Competition will only consist of this challenge participants.

Your fitbit should start syncing once the challenge starts. let's wait until the challenge starts and trouble shoot then.0 -

I started using the Moves app to get a feel for things, and it definitely works with my device! I hardly get any steps in so I'm really going to have to up my game if I don't want to be dead last in this mini competition!!!0 -
Updated my ipad this morning and now I can't sign into the site. It's saying that it doesn't have my email. Is there another way to sign in that I'm not aware of?0
