Anyone know why sometimes you get points and other times not? Particularly in this pic I recieved points in one FRR event but not others and unfortunately the one I actually managed to win didnt get included 
I understand that ZRL races are not included.
Not sure if its a bug or some other reason.
Thanks all for any info
Unlike the dire Zwift ZRS, ZwiftRcing looks at the abilities of your opponents and predicts where you should finish.
Finish higher than predicted? Points increase
Finish lower than predicted despite reasonable effort? Points decrease
Set a new 90-day 5mins best (zrCS) that is higher than your current vELO? Points increase
Podium place? Little bonus
Also, unlike ZRS, changes besides zrCS only happen if there are 4/5+ finishers in your pen.
sure i broadly understand that but in the particular instance of teh second race down, i won, there were loads of othger finishers and i think all the criteria needed were met but there was no points for ‘unknown reason’ yet another race of the same series I recieved points.
Thats what i cant understand but it is what it is I suppose just wondered if it was for a specific reason.
Thanks for the info Steve
Typically the reason a race won’t count for Ranking Points & vELO movement on zwiftracing.app is that the true results aren’t available. Usually because it’s a points race but the results in zwiftpower only show the finish positions instead of being adjusted based on the points scored. That’s why ZRL scratch raced count but points races don’t. And TTT are excluded because it’s not an individual effort so it would skew things too much.
I’m not across the details of the Super 6ix series, are the races that aren’t counted points races?
For 6ix, points races have been set not to affect vELO at all. You will see no movement whatsoever after a points race. But 6ix also has scratch races after which you will see movement.
Race 5 was a points race that has been set not to affect vELO; Race 4 was a scratch race which was set to affect vELO.
thanks Tom and Labasi….. ok fair enough that explains it, i dont get in to all the details but guess I should i will just take it as correct if I score vs I dont that its pulling the data as the races are set.
At least now I know, thanks
