We (my Fitbit friends) would like to increase the challenge numbers to include more than 10 people. Our group includes way more than 10 who are active and want play
We are trying to doing a challenge in our department and we have over 10 people and now we need to monitor 2 different challange and manually declare the the winner

It makes sense to increase the participation level to greater than 10. If I initiate a challenge and invite 20 people, some of those 10 may want to subsequently invite their friends to join in. If we already have 10, that is to much of a limiting factor. It can actually discourage people who are a little slow on joining at the initiation of the challenge, or who may want their specific friends to get in.
It does not make sense that the challenge is "awaiting your reply", when the challenge is full. The challenge also notifies you that time is running out to join the challenge, even though it is full and you cannot join it. It is a constant reminder that you were too late to join the extremely limited 10 participant challenges.
It would certainly be more interesting and inclusive to allow more than 10 people per challenge. I personally don't think there should be any limit at all.
It's been said that there was complaints about the "extra space" on the dashboard from people who didn't have 10 in a challenge.... I would think the number of people who want the increase would far outweigh the number who complained.
We all saw the update was premature, do we have any updates on when it will be back? The support for the hardware if failing as week as the Fitbit Surges having terrible problems. The 60 people I run groups for are starting to look at alternatives.
My office currently does weekly 'Workweek Hustle' and 'Weekend Warrior' challenges and we often have issues with exceeding the limit of 10 participants. A few weeks ago, this limit was increased from 10 to 20 and then reverted back to the 10 participant maximum. I've heard so many complaints from fellow co-workers regarding this, that I thought I would submit a suggestion. We'd love for the maximum to be increased or to just be unlimited! I understand that some other races allow for more in a group, but the format of the Workweek Hustle/ Weekend Warrior is much more desirable.
Let the person who challenges select the number of participants. We have a family competition and several are omitted due to the low number. It is not the same if you have to invite several challenges to cover everyone.
Having more than 10 participants in a challenge really helps all of my friends to be included in the fun! One friend who was very active missed it because the old max of 10 was reached. Such a bummer. We need the max back at 20!
Please allow 20 people per challenge especially in the daily show down. Fitbit allowed 20 and changed it back to 10. Please put it back to 20 as I have many Fitbit buddies that want to join the challenge.
It would be great for gyms, running groups and sports clubs, where there is more than 10 people. It would be a great way to motivate people within the groups to better themselves and literally go the extra mile!
From Fitbit's sales perspective, it may make people in these groups go out and buy one, so that they can join in with the group challenges! no-body likes to be left out!
Yes, please! Let us have more than 10 people in the challenges. My currently group has more than 10 and we don't like having people out. We enjoy very much our Fitbit group.
I find the challenges very motivating but our current group has more than 10 that want to participate. It's a shame for people to be left out, or you feel like you have to race to join so that you're not left out. Please increase the number of people that can participate in challenges so that we can all reach our goals.
Why hasn't this been implemented, we are suppose to be creating large communities and motivating others to run/walk more. The marathon is great it allows 30 people but at times challenges seem to be better but only allow 10 people. At our company, we have about 60 people that would love to compete all together. If Challenges cannot be increased, at least let the marathon support more than 30 people at a time.
