Twenty Peaks has two different social features, and it's easy to mix them up. A club is a team you earn classification points with. A community is an organizer's space that hosts events and publishes routes. They work differently, so here's how to tell them apart.
At a glance
| Club | Community | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A team you score classification points with | An organizer's space for events and routes |
| How you take part | You join (and an administrator admits you) | You register for one of its events |
| How many you can be in | One at a time | As many as you have events with |
| Earns club points? | Yes | No |
What a club is
A club is a group of participants who earn classification points together. Every qualifying activity you complete adds to your club's score, so a club is the right choice if you want to ride as a team and climb a leaderboard together. You can only be in one club at a time, you're admitted by the club's administrator, there's no limit to how many members a club can have, and you're free to leave whenever you want.
What a community is
A community is an organizer's space for hosting events and publishing routes. There's nothing to join directly: you become part of a community by registering for one of its events. Take part in events from several organizers and you're simply part of several communities. Being in a community doesn't put you on a team or earn club points.
So which do I want?
It isn't really a choice between the two. A community is whose event you're riding — you're in one as soon as you register. A club is the team you score with, and that's the part you opt into: join one if you want to earn classification points with your friends. You can be in a club and take part in several organizers' events at the same time.
