Upgrade Club features

Feature Requests

Current club features are not as flexible as they can be.

For your club, as admin, you can create group rides and group workouts.
This is of course awesome, but we can do a much better.
What I am missing is full race customization. We should be able to create club races like ITTs, TTTs, points race, scratch race etc.

We should be able to create for example points race:
1st simplest approach should be to select route and there will be all FTS and FAL points on every banner, plus finishing points as in ZRL.
2nd approach can be more advanced, and beside choosing route, we can manually select if we want to collect only FTS points, or only FAL points, or both, how many points will be awarded for each position and etc…plus allow or disallow PBP for top 5. For Zwift this club feature should be standard.

Also I am missing some fun club race features as is handicap or chase race.
We all have riders with different performances. We should be able to create scratch race with selecting which categories we will open. Lets say all cats A,B,C and D (basic groups).
We should be able to set group D, to start race for example at 19:00, C group at 19:03, B group at 19:05 and A group at 19:07 (it can differ as admin would set it, its just example). Group D will start first, C after, then B and A. Because all group have time differences between each other (based of performance, if the time gaps are calculated right :smiley: ) they should be able to be in finish approximately +/- at the same time. D will have chance for win, and they will not be dropped in first minute as in all cat race. Also, if this format will be sometimes possible, there can be nice add-on to force custom jerseys for each category. A=red jersey, B green, C blue, D yellow…

Also what club feature is missing is something like league format.
We should be able to create a league/group of races, that will start for example 1st day in month and end at last day in month (date range can be custom). Or maybe there do not need to be date range, maybe number of races is enough. And every race created by club admin (that will admin select, by race ID or whatever, will be connected to this league) will count to overall league….for example based of points. It depend of race formats.

There is a lot of space for expansion. Zwift, please give peasants some power :smiley:

Guys you can correct me, or add some more thoughts.

I don’t think you’ll get any corrections. You can put club events on ZwiftPower and manage segments and leagues there. @Rhino-Racing might be able to offer you some tips.

As for the clubs features been very little progress for ages (Zwift Clubs - dead in the water?)

yeah its tricky i fully agree would be great to have all the things the OP mentions.

You can create leagues and things on zp which will work with club events although is not exactly straight forward but doable with fal/fts etc.

Feel free to dm me @Milan_Nemec9855 can discuss but a lot of what you want relies on zwift doing something that is not possible right now

You can setup separate category restricted rides but the rest of the options are pretty limited as you have discovered.

Even ZRL has to rely on a 3rd party to manage their points races, that’s where WTRL comes in.

We do the same at DIRTy Mitten Racing, we’ve been lucky to have a member who has built an entire website complete with a live scoring leaderboard that we can customize to score certain segments for FAL or FTS or both and Finish line scoring. The website updates in real time during the race so we can keep track of scores without having to rely on Sauce or other “add-ons”.
