Scoring

Scoring is based on step counts as per @actifit report cards published by the participants on Match Days. The score formula is:

S = [Sc / 1000]

Sc - Step count
In plain English: The score is the step count divided by 1000 and rounded to the nearest integer (0.5 rounds up to 1)

Group Stage:
3 points are awarded for a win and 1 point for a draw.

Play-offs:
The total score over two matches decides the winner. If scores are equal, then steps are compared. If no winner can be decided that way, the player who was better in the Group Stage (place, points, total score, total steps) advances.

Final Four
The sum of scores over the final match days decides the order. If scores are equal, then steps are compared. If no winner can be decided that way, the player who was better in the Group Stage (place, points, total score, total steps) is placed higher.

Disqualifications

Group Stage
Players who fail to publish at least 3 reports, are disqualified. All their scores are set to 0 (ie. they lose all matches) and they don't get a share in the rewards pool.
