Only the top 4 races for each rider will count towards the GC. 

​

RACE CATEGORIES

All racers must race in an appropriate w/kg category, as calculated by Zwift Power. Racers may choose to race in a higher category if desired (i.e., a B racer may not enter the C race, but a B racer may enter the A race). If you are new to Zwift racing and unsure of what category to enter, your FTP is a good starting point. w/kg categories for this series are as follows (Women should race based on their mixed category):

​

​

Mixed Gender w/kg Categories

A 4.0 + w/kg and 250w FTP

B 3.2 – 3.99 w/kg and 200w FTP

C 2.5 – 3.19 w/kg and 150w FTP

D 1 – 2.49 w/kg

If a racer’s w/kg category is upgraded by Zwift Power mid-series, they must race in the upgraded w/kg category for the remainder of the series. If this happens, series points will not transfer. Any rider who exceeds category limits in a race will also be disqualified on Zwift Power and receive no points for that race. VCRT recommends that riders race up a category if they think a mid-series upgrade is possible. We are also aware that some racers may have newly created Zwift Power accounts or have no currently defined category, in this instance we recommend racers to complete at least one max effort Zwift race (longer than 20 min) before entering the series.

POWER METERS AND HEART RATE MONITORS

All racers must be fully registered at zwiftpower.com to be included in series standings. Fair play and transparency is one of the cornerstones that VCRT was built upon, hence a power meter and heart rate monitor are required to participate in this series. Racers without a true power source (zpower) or without a heart rate monitor will be removed from podiums. If you have a power meter/smart trainer, be sure to calibrate regularly as instructed by the manufacturer. Accurate data is crucial for the promotion of fair Zwift racing.

A NOTE FROM THE ORGANIZERS

We are super excited to finally offer our very own zwift event to our club members and the broad Zwift community. We hope that this is just the start to a long successful virtual chapter of more racing in the future.

Please remember that these events are free to racers and are organized on pure volunteer hours. We have considered member input when designing this series, but some things are beyond our control. Additionally, we assume that there will be some hiccups along the way, so we ask for your patience when issues do pop up. We will always do the best that we can to resolve situations.

Thank you for racing with us on Zwift and we hope you have fun while pushing your limits!
