League System: Your journey through the Leagues
Your confirmed steps let you compete each month against other Steps4Miles users in your League. The better your ranking, the higher you can rise — from Wayfarer to Captain.
Per League
Target size per League: 25 real users. Depending on the number of users, a League can have different regions, but all remain at the same level.
Top 3
The top 3 always move up a League level. Here too, if there are more than 25 participants, there are different regions, but all at the same level.
Bottom 3
The bottom 3 are relegated once there are at least 8 real users in the group. The last 3 therefore move down a League; you cannot be relegated below Level 1.
Level 1
Wayfarer is Level 1 — there is no lower level. From Level 1, you can only move up or remain at Level 1.
Level 10
Captain is Level 10 — the highest League. You cannot go any higher. Level 10 is the top League, the top level. That is how it works.
Note
If the level cannot be filled, dummy users are used. Empty places may be visually filled with dummy users, who always perform worse.
Every month is a new opportunity
At the end of the month, your ranking determines whether you move up, stay in your League or — at higher levels — move down. The top places also receive StepCoin rewards.

Every month is a new opportunity to improve, move up and reach your next League. Collect confirmed steps, secure your place in the ranking and work your way up to Captain, step by step.
League System overview: your next level
The League System makes your confirmed movement comparable month after month. You start in your current League and collect steps for its ranking. The ten levels range from Wayfarer to Captain. This lets you track your progress through your ranking and achieved level, as well as your step count.
The ranking is finalised at the end of the month. The top three users can move up, while relegation depends on the conditions described on this page. Wayfarer is the lowest level; there is no level above Captain. Podium finishes also earn the stated StepCoin rewards. A new month starts with a new competition and another opportunity to progress.
The regular restart combines competition with motivation. What matters is confirming your steps and keeping track of your own progress. We explain the rules for the end of the month, staying in your League and moving to another League in more detail under Promotion and Ranking.
