## Compete Together with Team Challenges

Team Challenges is the most-requested feature from the Aviron community, and it is now live.

**How it works:**
- When you first sign in, you are automatically drafted onto one of four teams: Red Rangers, Green Guardians, Blue Brigadiers, or Purple Protectors. No sign-ups or choices required.
- Your team color and icon follow you everywhere on the platform.
- Each month, your team plays two 14-day matches against rival teams.
- Win your match to advance the bracket. After both matches, three teams earn podium placement: Gold, Silver, and Bronze.
- Winners earn Aviron Coins and a trophy added to their cabinet — a permanent record of every competition.
- Every workout you complete counts toward your team's progress, whether it is a quick 10-minute session or a long weekend row.
- A live progress bar shows exactly where your team stands versus opponents in real time.

**Cross-machine support:** Team Challenges is Aviron's first true cross-machine feature. Sessions on the Rower, Bike, or Tread all contribute to the same team score.

## Rags to Riches: Bonus Challenges

Bonus Challenges now appear at the end of select waves in Rags to Riches, offering extra rewards and bonus points to climb the leaderboard.

### Forbidden Fortune
Generate 1 output to earn 1 spin. Complete as many spins as possible within 40 seconds to earn more points.

### Seal & Sail
Patch the holes in your ship by hitting the required speed on your rower or bike — or tap the screen directly on your treadmill — to keep your ship afloat.

### Group Workout Behavior
- Everyone receives the same Bonus Challenge at the same time and completes it individually.
- Once the challenge ends, the group regroups before the next wave begins.
- If you prefer recovery, use the 40 seconds to reset and prepare for the next wave.

## Power Play Now Supports Up to 20 Live Players

- Start a Power Play or join one from the Group Workout Lobby.
- All 20 players' live scores appear on the leaderboard.
- Your two closest-ranked players are shown side by side so you can track your position throughout the workout.
