Can't join pen on some races based on ZRS

My ZRS is 334 (on the companion, ZP and the website) some races, such as the Zwift Crit Racing Club races, plus a few others, won’t let me enter the 180-350 pen, forcing me into a higher one.

Is this a bug of something else I don’t understand about ZRS?

Thanks

what is your 30 day Max zrs ?

Didn’t know there was a 30 day max. How do I find it? Can’t see it on the Zwift website or the companion app.

Managed to find it buried in my profile and it’s higher so guess that’s what it is. Be nice if it said that’s what they’re using in the race description.

Zwift don’t make things simple…

Thanks!

The ones that are using 30 day max will have category descriptions something like 350-450 MAX.

Virtuslo races are an example you can look for.

ZCA example

.

Zwift.com example

But looks like Zwift Crit Racing Club not showing use of Max score. (I don’t think I have heard that Zwift HQ is using Max score yet - only community organisers ?)

I’m not sure this Max score rule is searchable in Zwift Hacks yet but I may be wrong. @Jesper_ZwiftHacks ?

Interesting - I can see that on the VirtuSlo races, but the Zwift Crit races don’t say MAX anywhere, but still can’t join the pen…

The other part to consider is that those descriptions seem to be free-text. It wouldn’t be the first time the description hasn’t match the event configuration. And it happens most often when there is a new option for how to do things.

The best place to confirm the configuration of the Zwift Crit Clubs events is the Zwift Racers Facebook group. James pops in to this forum occasionally but he’s very active there.

Can you try entering the Zwift Epic races later today.

On Facebook James posted that he might be making the October Crit and Epic races Max score, so as suggested by Tom it might be he has made the change but the Max score description has not been added.

The Epic races later today and tomorrow are fine, just the crit races.

Just annoying as I’m coming back from a while away from cycling and my ZRS is too high anyway, but this makes races even harder. Guess I’ll just keep entering and getting dropped untilmy ZRS had come down to a more accurate level.

It’s on the Experiments tab

I’m probably looking in wrong place but under experiments have you included Zwift’s new ‘30 day max ZRS’ entry criteria? Under experiments I can find your slider options to search for a range of ZRS score or percentile but not sure that it what is required for this forum topic.

I’m seeing the same issue, zwift crit race at 17:40 nothing about max in the description and I am only able to join the 520-690 pen despite my score being 517

The zwift epic race at 18:30 shows the only pen I can join is the 350-520 pen

The system at the moment makes no sense

James has confirmed that the Crit Club events are using 30-day maximum.

be nice if they updated the description and everything else to go with it and gave some notification on here rather than facebook etc

How/Where did you find it? I’m having the same problem, and no idea what my “max” ZRS has been

If it’s gonna be used it should at least be a visible value on Zwift App, Companion App, and ZP!

30 day max is visible on my.zwift.com, then click on My Profile.

Absolutely agree that it should be shown in the other places too.
