Hi James, I’ve just completed Stage 4 of the Race Scotland series, but it’s still showing as 3/4 and no badge. Would it be possible to take a look? Is it because I raced the first 3 in Cat D, and the last in Cat C? Many thanks, Cal

Hiya - I think I’ve spotted the issue here.
I’ll ask our CS team to bulk credit.
Thanks James, all sorted!
Can anyone point to documentation on how the ZRacing Monthly Series are scored in Zwift Power? I’m assuming the % is the number to pay attention to, to understand how I am placed. Also, is there a way to view a single race ranking? i.e.: of all the races this week for Stage 4, where am I placed? I can see how I am placed for all 4 races, but I don’t see a way to break down each stage.
If I’m not mistaken (from a few past calculations), it seems like the % is [overall leader’s time] divided by [your time]. So using the Race the Worlds standings as they appear now, converted into seconds: 5912 / 6170 = 0.9581 → 95.81%
I don’t believe there’s a way on ZwiftPower to view rankings for individual stages that are a part of a stage race, and it doesn’t really seem to be the norm for most stage races (also see the SISU Tour and the Tour de HISP). Main reason probably being that the fastest times tend to come from races with a higher number of racers (aka the more popular time slots, like Mondays and Tuesdays around 17:10 UTC). You could win in a time slot with only a handful of racers but still finish minutes behind someone who came bottom-10 in a faster time slot, but that’s a separate discussion about what’s the best approach for time-based stage races.
If you’re still interested in your single race ranking regardless of that, then the simple answer is still that there probably isn’t a (easy) way to view that (yet? we can hope and ask).
It’s a different case for series like Zwift’s hill climb and TT club series since the time slot you race in has significantly less impact on your finishing time. Personally, I don’t have a strong opinion either way – it would be cool to see that info, but if it’s not provided, I don’t mind too much.
Hi @James_Zwift, just completed ZRacing event at last minute and grabbed 3rd place but realised didn’t have HR monitor on as battery went yesterday. Any chance of being reinstated, check my previous ride history for reassurance nothing untoward…would just like the ranking points etc…
Let me know if anything can be done. 19:10 Cat A race (UK time)
Thanks
I just did Stage 1: Best Of - Sand and Sequoias and noticed that the winner of the C cat race got a WKG DQ on Zwiftpower. 3.5w/kg for 20 minutes in a C cat race.
I notice the race has a “(Categories enforce w/kg boundary)” flag so I guess that means they got DQed for being over the old C cat 20 minute power limit.
Is that intentional? Or a mistake in setting up the race?
Because I thought Zwift races no longer used the w/kg boundaries because Category Enforcement was in effect (although I’m not really upset about someone doing 3.5w/kg for 20 minutes getting DQed)
It’s probably the same issue that affected the ZA races. The usual configuration is not applied and it defaulted to the standard ZwiftPower settings.
