Ensure that the estimated duration of the Tournament information is suitable. The estimated durations are based on 10 members within a team walking 10,000 steps per day. The numbers of members within the teams and activity level of team members will impact on the time it takes for the Tournament to be completed. It is not possible to set an end date for Race Tournaments as they are based on goal number of steps which each team aims to reach.
