Returning riders, who left Zwift for a few months, get to blow up races when their score goes down before it, hopefully, goes back up - although the score adjustments at the moment a…

Why are they not filtered out at the finish by Zwift by comparing there racing score and power output and how can someone who is not registered with Zwiftpower win a race.

Are you by any chance referring to the race you were in today?

 ![IMG_3843](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/gozwift/original/4X/d/d/2/dd2d668f5997b077eb8e8a1f86e41e937d7af667.jpeg)

None of the top four places have the 600+ scores you mention. Easy to do but by any chance have you clicked onto the A category race when you are looking at the ZwiftPower results. Two racers in top 4 in A pen do have ZRS of 634 and 725.

fwiw, probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 40% of zwift subscribers don’t even know what Zwiftpower is. Certainly ZP being referenced as the go-to for results is no longer mentioned in pretty much most/all race descriptions on Zwift’s signup pages.
