The Season System

90-day campaigns. Four per year. Real stakes.

What Is a Season?

A season is a 90-day campaign. Four seasons per year, aligned with calendar quarters. Each season, you set a Seasonal Challenge — your 3-pillar goals packaged as one pass/fail commitment.

The Calendar

SummerJul - SepJuly 1
FallOct - DecOctober 1

Every player experiences the same global season simultaneously. This creates shared community moments and synchronized competition.

Season Zero: Training Camp

When you join iFocus, you enter Season Zero — your onboarding season.

What Season Zero IS:

  • • Your first season (likely truncated)
  • • Training camp — learning the game
  • • Live action — stats count
  • • Low stakes — permission to learn

What Season Zero is NOT:

  • • A free pass to slack off
  • • Meaningless — your streak matters
  • • Unlimited — ends with the quarter

The Seasonal Challenge

Your Seasonal Challenge is your 3-pillar commitment for the 90 days. It's pass/fail.

SEASONAL CHALLENGE: Winter 2026
├── A: Run 90 miles total
├── B: Launch to 1,000 users
└── C: Publish the book outline

Pass/Fail Rules:

  • • Complete ALL three = Challenge Complete (pass)
  • • Complete 1 or 2 = Challenge Incomplete (fail)
  • • No partial credit. This teaches you to set better goals.

Season Progression

After Season Zero, you count in Roman numerals:

Season Zero → Season I → Season II → Season III → Season IV...

Why Roman numerals? Prestige. A player in Season XXIV looks impressive. Veterans recognize each other instantly.
