On a more cynical day, I wonder if Racing Score and limited events is a plan to slowly kill racing in Zwift, especially for the elite group.

Ok, 1st month of zracing is over. With a last update of the gc overall list, i found my 2nd result of stage5 now counted as best of week5 (listed in the green exclamation mark), BUT the summary time is not corrected (the % value) and so my placing. @ZHQ Have we now even check easy mathematics, when updates are presented, but not correct??? CHECK 400-500 (P4/P5 had to be swapped by new time)
I had a chance to ask Eric Min about the ultimate challenge reward. We should get a bike.
He said,āThatās what I said too.ā
Zwift: Thereās still time to up the ante. Step in and give us something worthwhile, please.

I would not love it if they added something decent at this half way stage, as it doesnāt leave me enough time to do all the make up events. (first world problems I know).
Are you aware that the ultimate challenge doesnāt require doing any events? Some of the routes are shorter when done as free rides as well, when there is a big lead-in from starting pens.
After a month with the new cats and ranges I have to compliment Zwift here.
I just got a new score of 462 and that puts me over the 330 ā 450 I was racing but instead of being stuck in the bottom in 450 ā 570 I can also pick the 380 ā 510 range which puts me in the middle of the group.
You really nailed it with this change, and I really hope it is here to stay so we have an option what range we join.
Makes it also a lot easier to try a cat upwards if the terrain suits you.

Yes am aware, thank you 
Only Zwift use the double range system. If the WHOLE community did a dynamic range system that always change this wouldnāt even be a thing.

More than enough for me. I hardly do any races outside of the ones Zwift organizes.
And I rather have two options I can choose myself than that organizers force me into theirs.

Wow, as it stands, the upcoming week of TTs and no draft races is depressing!
Can someone please organise some sub 20min events (perhaps some small back to back series, similar to Tiny Races), mix of gradient profiles, all on same equipment?
Is this not a thing for those of us Americas time?
Now that ZRL is done my Tuesdays are open, and I discovered the only time for an āAā [Advanced] slot racer, is 7:15pm EST
Thatās the only race, that appears every night each week, at the same time.
There is no offsets for the Americas times races that I am seeing.
Which also meansā¦ thereās not even a race option for west coasters; because thatās 4:15 PST
Can ZHQ make it so the times are shifted an hour back and forth each day or something?
I realize the complaint was about empty racesā¦ But being given the option of a singular race at a singular time each day through the entire week isnāt what Iād consider a solution; but an equal problem.
I donāt know how the numbers have ended up, but itās āunfairā that all of the folks Americas time zone are forced into a single slot that not even half of the time zones Americas times even have access to because itās during working business hours .
Hopefully what Iām saying here makes senseā¦
If it doesnāt:
1 race for Advanced, for the entire range of Americas time zonesā¦ at
8:15pm AST / 7:15pm EST / 6:15pm CST / 5:15pm MST / 4:15pm PST
simply isnāt enough for an entire quarter of the world that are in this Advanced category.
Please give us a solution.

Ohā¦ So glad stuff like that is tucked away in an impossible to trace/search website instead ofā¦ here lol 
Too bad that is for the non-Advanced events. āwith the exception of (the one Iām referring to)ā
Guess I need to log in to facebook and hunt that posting down

āwith the exception ofā seems to be adding in an extra race or two. Strangely wordedā¦
So itās an advanced race every 2nd hour, alternating each day, and with races on every day at the biggest peak time.

Same with the staff who only post on Reddit. If thereās something wrong with the forum they should fix that rather than run away. I get the feeling itās mostly a ānot my jobā problem, so that communication ends up being nobodyās job.

Yeah I refuse to go sign into Facebook to look for Zwift information.

My favorite part of this is that you canāt search for āevents I am allowed to enterā anywhere because āadvancedā and ārange 1ā are both graphics not phrases in the event.
I am trending towards filing the pettiest class action lawsuit ever because I paid for an annual sub, and then zwift removed my ability to race.

if ZHQ staff are afraid important information will get lost; they need to make informational posts like this, and then lock it, and only ZHQ employees can post when pertinent information changesā¦
Notā¦ ffs on facebookā¦
Then open another thread where we can discuss it.
This is ridiculous.
lmao to make matters worse:
this is right now; 0230 2/26/25
Likeā¦ not to sound like a jerk, but do ZHQ employees forget that the forum is literally accessible through Companion app?? Itās literally two clicks to get hereā¦
