Just a suggestion here, why not use the leader’s/meet up host’s finishing gate as the finishing point reference?
Surely there is a way to communicate such data across all joiners and makes this fix far more easier?
Hey @shooj - was there any update on this?
I still think using the pens is the easiest fix but would love to get more info.
I looked into this ticket. The race results for timed-duration Meetups have been broken due to some deeper issues that still need sorting out. We are retooling the ranking mechanism so it works better, and for that - we still need more time. Apologies for the lengthy hold on this fix.
@shooj whats the reason why ‘race’ meet ups can’t start from the pens?
It would solve the issue quite quickly… if it’s a case of pens being used, just assign them to pen E and block off the first 5min & 30-35min start time when most races start…
Do the Zwift guys have FUNDING issues? Clearly our 15usd per month isn’t sufficient. A lot of “new features” are being worked on but the basic game breaking bugs aren’t even fixed.
I mentioned crowd funding earlier. I believe we are able to crowd fund a specialized team to fix this issue for you.
It’s very hard not to compare Zwift to MMORPGs made 10-20 years ago when you actually pay less money for a heck of a lot more features and frequent bug fixes.

What about distance-based Meetups with race results, where everyone has a different finish line due to the different spawn points?
Any updates on this bug?
Would love a response on this too, still dealing with COVID race cancellations IRL and hard to use Zwift to replace them when it’s a guess whether the finish line will work for everyone.

You might be better emailing zwift events to see if you can get a private/public event added. They do seem a lot more open now to new events and i know a number of teams using private events for exactly such reason as mentioned in this thread.

Out of interest do private events show up on Zwiftpower? If so might be a handy way to get people’s categories up to date before ZRL

By default they are configured not to but can be added.
While I had a private event i was going to use this form ZwiftPower - Login to see it it still worked but decided to go on the public schedule anyway so never tested it. If that does not work probably best asking via the Zwift change events form. Events and zp are separate teams but I’ve not had much luck getting any response from the zp zwift email recently.

Over 12 months and still no fix to this concern. Really hope they can get this sorted before the end of the summer as wanting to arrange some winter club races and the meet up would be perfect for these. I just can’t believe the lack of feedback on this matter.

Is there a Zwift events email address?
Thanks

When will this be fixed?
Do you need us to crowdfund money for you?
I’m not even joking about crowd funding. I know you guys like taking our 15 usd per month and not really doing anything solid with it, but just so you know, I’m not just a complainer.
Are you lacking of technical abilities or money? Let me know.

Meetup races still suck. Complete garbage.

Give the guys a chance - it’s only been one year.

Seriously one year is a legit excuse?
They spent all that resources on “making new things” and at the same time “breaking basic game features”.
How isn’t that misspent resources? Why can’t they just sit down, spend that month or two fixing all the bugs and then proceed with expanding?
We’re all paying customers. It isn’t unreasonable to expect basic features that are promised to work.
I’m suspecting the reason why this isn’t fixed is that people would be reluctant to pay for the official events. (I’d pay for a working race feature, that’s all I’m saying, even suggested crowdfunding to fix this feature)

Hey, it’s coming up to 14 months now since this feature launched and was broken, so just wondered if there was any fix in sight?

Seconding this, any actual plans to fixing this?
Or could we please at least be given an option to PAY for a private event race system that is already in use for public events?

Zwift gave up on there software platform in favour of pursueing a hardware based approach , hence all the investment received last year was tied to that . As with all other feature requests of any worth they are no longer being delivered as a result with an explanation that it is in some way complex ( everything is complex if you have no resource to do anything about it ) . This looks like another one . Broken and half modelled solutions that are never released properly and no ongoing support and refinement is endemic . Its frustrating , but for now anyway its how the product is being run . Maybe it will change and these threads by the users most enthusiastic to help improve things will be actually part of how Zwift operate . Right now … ride on , which is what Zwift have said is there current decision on continuing on current course despite it failing to deliver (hardware) .
