Rules:
Registration with Zwiftpower.com is required to score points in the league.
zPower will be removed from the result.
TT bikes are not allowed, unless otherwise stated.
Heart Rate Monitors (HRM) are mandatory for all categories and must be public. Consent must be granted on your Zwiftpower profile.

Dual recording:
Dual recording is mandatory for Top 5 finishers in A category, plus for all in the top 50 on the individual overall Zwiftpower Rankings, regardless of category (zwiftpower.com/rankings.php)
A public dual recording analysis must be uploaded to Zwiftpower within 3 hours of completing the race.
Race organizers may request riders in all categories to provide a dual recording or a matching RL effort (Strava) in order to verify a Zwift race effort. Failure to comply may result in a points penalty or disqualification from the event. Failure to provide a dual recording or RL effort on three separate requests may result in disqualification from future events, until a dual recording with a matching effort is provided.

Categories:
A: 4.0 W/kg and above
B: 3.2 W/kg to 3.99 W/kg
C: 2.5 W/kg to 3.19 W/kg
D: Under 2.49 W/kg
Category Enforcement apply. How does it work? (https://support.zwift.com/en_us/category-enforcement-faq-rJ5CQrpvcOpens a new window).
Category Enforcement will prevent Zwifters from entering a category they are not eligible for. The goal is to increase fairness in racing.
How does it work? - Zwift checks a racer's past performance using VO2 max and FTP to determine their race category. Racers can join a category at or above their category. For example, if you are "C" category, you can race in C, B, or A category. You cannot race in the D category.

Other:
We highly recommend you having Strava linked to your Zwiftpower profile and that it is open.
