What is that certificate that pops up when I first visit your site and why is your website "https?"
We are serious about protecting your data on the site. So we have obtained a security certificate that gives you further protection and security--which is why you see the "https." The "s" actually stands for "secure" and is typically found on websites where data is doubly protected, like bank accounts and some e-mail sites.  [TOP]

Daily Vital and Workout Tracking

How do I enter a workout?
First click on "today's workout" on the left side of the site. When the Workout Journal pops up, click on any activity in the "Add New Activity" section to add it to your workout. In the activity entry form enter in as much information as you would like (only time and intensity are required). Then click "Continue" in the bottom-right to go back to the activity list. Add as many activities as you would like and then click "Finished" from the activity list when you are done.  [TOP]

How do I change an activity?
To change a workout, click on the activity you want to change in the blue Workout Summary box to bring that workout back up into the main screen. Then change it as you would like and click "Continue."  [TOP]

How do I delete an activity?
Deleting an activity is simple--just click on the red "X" next to the appropriate activity in the blue Workout Summary box.  [TOP]

Can I track a workout in any sport?
At introPLAY, you can track your workout in about 90 sports and activities! From going to the gym to morning runs to skiing on weekends, we will allow you to keep track of your workouts in as much detail as you would like.  [TOP]

How do I enter daily vitals for an earlier day?

introLEAGUES

What is an introLEAGUE?
The introLEAGUE is a new competitive game that allows you to compete with friends or colleagues based on how much you exercise over the course of an introLEAGUE. Every time you exercise, you enter your workout into the introPLAY system and you score points that are automatically tallied in each introLEAGUE you participate in. The primary goal is to motivate you and your friends to exercise more by making your workouts count in an introLEAGUE.  [TOP]

I received an e-mail invitation to an introLEAGUE, but it does not show up in the open invitations? What happened?
The Chairperson of that introLEAGUE most likely closed signups. When that happens, nobody else can join that particular introLEAGUE. Contact the Chairperson and see if this is in fact what happened. If it is not, contact us.  [TOP]

How much does it cost to start an introLEAGUE?
Starting an introLEAGUE on introPLAY is FREE! There's nothing stopping you and your friends from setting up your own introLEAGUE right now!  [TOP]

Who can start an introLEAGUE?
Anybody can start an introLEAGUE! Even if you just registered, we can walk you through the process of starting an introLEAGUE and being a Chairperson. Go ahead and get one started right now!  [TOP]

I am the Chairperson of my introLEAGUE and I received an email that my introLEAGUE started but I have not yet set teams yet. What do I do?
If you do not close signups and manage the draft before the start date, introPLAY will automatically close signups and randomly create two teams so the introLEAGUE starts on time. That is why it is extremely important for the Chairperson to close signups and manage drafts to ensure the desired number and makeup of teams are created.

If this happens, you will be able to manage the Players on each of the two teams using the "Manage Teams" tools on the right hand side. But you will not be able to change the number of teams, so it is very important to manage the draft before the introLEAGUE starts.  [TOP]

Can I change teams once the introLEAGUE has started?
Right now, teams are set for the duration of the season once an introLEAGUE starts. Stay tuned as we bring features like Player trades and team reorganizations.  [TOP]

How does the introPOINTS scoring system work?
introPOINTS awarded for each activity are earned based on time and intensity. 10 points awarded for a 'typical' length workout in that activity.

So for example, a 30 minute, moderate intensity run and a 2 1/2 hour long baseball game would both earn 10 points. It takes longer to earn 10 points in baseball, because typically, a baseball game takes longer to complete than a run.

By setting up the scoring system this way, we are awarding Players for their effort, regardless of calories burned or results achieved. In introPLAY, the playing field is even and beginners can compete with seasoned athletes. We want you to achieve your results, but we want to encourage the best individual performance for each Player.  [TOP]

How do the introPOINTS work if I am in more than one introLEAGUE?
If you are in more than one introLEAGUES, your workouts will translate into introPOINTS for each league you are in. So scoring 11 points will count towards each of your leagues.  [TOP]

Profile, Community, etc.

How do I add friends?
Friends are automatically added to your profile when you participate in introLEAGUES with them.   [TOP]

Who can see my profile?
Right now, only your Friends can view your profile. As soon as we get account settings up and running you will be able to change this as you like.   [TOP]

Who can see my workouts, Player Notes, Injury Reports, etc?
Right now, only your Friends can see your workouts and only Players competing in an introLEAGUE with you can see your public Player Notes and Injury Reports. As soon as we get account settings up and running you will be able to change this as you like.

Nobody can see your private Player Notes and Injury Reports.  [TOP]

How do I delete my account?
