Well we got Pen Enforcement extended to category from previously only been applicable to gender , which cost nothing and was sitting waiting to just be implemente but it did take how many years exactly … and instead of just adding that we are I remind you getting another week of test events only , so there is no commitment or roadmap published that says that at the end of this week the fact that pen enforcement will work (which it does , it doesnt need any testing to proove that we can only enter events we are allowed ) . it will be rolled out immediately afterwards .
Further the simple roll out of this feature has got conflated with the perceived requirement to tinker with the method of calculation of a users category . No matter how postive or negative this might turn out to be it will by default result in a further delay to acheiving the first step of simply supporting enforcing of entry requirements ( whatever they may be ) . IMO by coupling these two things together our dream of options looks as far away as it has ever been , maybe further because it is being so tightly coupled .
I am not sure I am maybe thinking about ranking in the same way as others , and how you have positioned it ( Global) . What I see is ranking (Points) is something that can be set at many levels and even by event series. Which actually is also already available , certainly as available as the w/kg categorisation that we are “enhancing” now in the great algorithm project… It just needs the ability to pen enforce it .
Here , in Zwiftpower 2 values . Points and Rank .
