WKG but raced in correct category

@Gerrie_Delport_ODZ The 5min and 20min ZADA limits apply may be a redundant option for race organisers. Back in the day, Zwiftpower had hard-coded numbers; 5w/kg for 95% of 20 and 6w/kg for 5 mins which would DQ a rider if he/shedid not have ZADA approval. Those thresholds were removed when ZADA in it’s old form was disbanded.

Sometime later James added a different (significantly more challenging) set of 5 and 20 min thresholds based on raw watts and w/kg which still exist today. We also had a very small list of exempt riders who would not receive a 5MIN or 20MIN DQ.

I’m not entirely sure whether the race organiser’s option in the image actually toggles that on or off or only applied to the redundant old thresholds.

Zwiftpower Category Overrides w/kg is just an option to apply zwiftpower rules re UPG and WKG and allowing for the 0.1w/kg leeway for going over category limits. If organiser disabled that option there would be no punishment for entering the wrong category but you would get DQ if you breached category limits.
