Signing Up For Events Without Compaion App

I have to say, this is a very rough user experience. If I were a new user, I would be googling zwift alternatives right now. There is a race I want to sign up for tomorrow morning (14 hours from now) and it seems impossible to do so without the companion app. My phone is out of commission right now, and the website only shows events starting in the next 12 or so hours, and even firing up zwift itself only shows events starting in the next 60 minutes? How does that make any sense? I feel like I used to be able to sign up for events pretty easily.

I can go to zwiftpower and sign up for events a long ways out than 12hrs, do you go to the bottom of the screen and hit next?

ahh, you are right. I did also check Zwiftpower, but for some reason it says “Yesterday” and “Last Week” on the right of all the events so I thought these were past events, but I just noticed in the top left it also says “Today”. Who needs headers on the columns though? lol

You can also use the ZwiftHacks events app which offers more search criteria (see the Rules tab). For example you can choose events with only same time starts or only staggered starts, all categories visible or not, group rides with or without fence, events without steering, etc. The Size tab will give you some control over time/distance. The Time tab will let you choose start times you want.

The events page on zwiftracing.app also works, but doesn’t give as many filtering options.

The one problem I find with Zwifthacks is their server has got to be on 24.4k baud modem because its slower than the 2nd coming of Christ

It will load faster if you don’t use all days…shortend that to 7 or 3 days aand it will load faster.

it’s handing you a huge blob of data and then processing it in JavaScript. It loads faster on a better CPU and in higher performing browsers as well
