HTC VIVE and Fit Reality are proud to be working together to bring you the #MOVEMORE Challenge – an innovative, adrenaline-pumping VR fitness tournament based on the upcoming title VIRO MOVE, which combines exciting VR gameplay, a real-life workout, and a strategic fitness challenge.

We are proud and honored to have HTC VIVE support the message, and we invite the VR community to help us kick-start the movement,” says Paul Lynch from Fit Reality.

CHALLENGE SCORING
1. Using Credits
Competitors can use all of their credits in one sitting, or they may wish to strategically play game-by-game and see how the leaderboards evolve across the duration of the challenge.
Unused credits will be lost on the last day of the tournament.
2. Challenge scoring
Players with the highest in-game score for each fighting style will be awarded a total of 100 tournament points.
Every other participant will be awarded tournament points according to their score as a percentage of the highest score of each fighting style.
Example:
- A leader in Swordplay who earns 4519 in-game points will be awarded 100 tournament points.
- A player in second place who earns 3204 in-game points will be awarded 70.9 tournament points (3204 divided by the high score of 4519 and then multiplied by 100).
- And so on…
LEADERBOARDS
Challenge leaderboards and scores will update instantly. Each fighting style will have its own leaderboard.
The tournament leaderboard score will be the combined total of points from all four fighting styles.
