at least they’ll have to find new ones first
Looks reasonable… my only comments and it may change yet… Climbers Gambit… use the same format as the last ZA… make the C / D KoM the Volcano Climb… let the big boys and girls take on the Epic… Make Richmond the other way around, us lightweight D’s need that hilly finish…

Let’s get this back on topic before we get to 2000. I’m expecting a massive announcement on that post…

We’ve made it! 2000 posts basically asking for the exact same thing. There’s been some great discussion, mostly consensus, and hey, maybe one day Zwift will help us to talk about something else.

I can’t believe you took my 2000th post @gloscherrybomb. I am shocked and hurt and shocked.
I’ll take the 3000th OK?

Is this the largest thread in the forum?
yep usually anything else that generates such strong user opinion gets closed down but this is our safe place to vent it seems

Worry not, nothing new in the last 999 posts except venting, me included. Nothing changes really, same old cheating, non-action etc I still dream of a Utopia of fair racing etc but my dreams of fairness will not be realised this year or the next
It seems Zwift is focused on not offending anybody ever. Impossible. You can’t please all the people all the time…
Would auto-category assignment offend someone? Very likely. But the current voluntary system is also hurting peoples feelings - with the perfect example case of B Wallsy.
New racers entering the wrong category are a corner case. The majority of the problem are the multiple repeat offenders who knowingly enter lower categories.
Automatic pen placement is needed - and has been for years.
It doesn’t even have to be for every race. Leave “Auto-Cat” as an option for race organizers. Maybe then there is something for everyone.
I do like the idea of a race licensing ride: An FTP test, at the end of which you get a Race License Badge, race entry is “unlocked”, and perhaps a bonus in XP or Drops is awarded.

I like this but instead of FTP test it is qualifying races. A few mass start races each week where new and seasoned racers go head to head.

In either instance, I don’t see how this would be better to prevent sandbagging. You’re relegating categorization to a specific event that the participant would know is exclusively for the purpose of assigning them to a category for their next real race?
