Virtual velodrome development

I am working on a sauce pluggin that will run velodrome events. It should be able to do matched sprints, miss and out, points races, maybe some of the others. The basic idea is that you sprint until a specific time instead of a point in the road/arch. The sauce pluggin knows the position of the riders so it knows who one. It automatically sends appropriate messages (heat start, heat finish, heat winners) and calculates the pairings for the next round.

I have created a club EVELODROME that I going to use for testing.

This first race type to be implemented will be matched sprints. I am looking for riders to help test this, and provide feedback. A test event will take about 25 minutes, and will consist of a qualifying round, and 4 sprints. That is assuming 20 riders. I typically ride mornings east coast US time so test rides will be ~12:00 UTC plus or minus an hour. If you are interested in helping join the EVELODROME club and I will schedule some test events.

So, like a ten second arch in a workout? That kind of sprint finish?

Yes. The sauce mod will use zwift messaging to announce who is sprinting in the next heat. Give a 15 seconds to start, a go message, 15 seconds to finish, and the finish results. All sprints will end on the minute boundary.

And that it will be against 1-3 riders, not for average power.

Do a web search for youtube and match sprint. To see what the goal is.
