Black-out race catagories

There is plenty of discussion about people racing in the wrong categories, especially in the lower D-cat races. As a legit D-cat 2.2w/kg racer, there is nothing more frustrating than hopping into a race knowing that the first half of the field is above threshold most of the time and I won’t stand a chance.

Here is my suggestion to the devs:

Zwift can recognize our w/kg and black-out the race categories that riders are above so they can not enter into them. This would allow a more level playing field for all riders and push us to better ourselves if we are bumped up into a new cat.

For those who feel the need to race in a lower cat, they can always do a “reverse weight dope”

I would love to hear some other thoughts on this.
