Scoring/Points
Races will be scored based on your ZwiftPower finish. Points will descend from 10, 9, 8… to 1 point minimum.
You must have a functional ZwiftPower profile to be counted for race results. Learn how to set up your Zwift profile >
Your best 9 finishes count toward your overall total. Series points can be found under “Leagues” on ZwiftPower.com.
Race Categories
Race categories are the standard breakdown, based on your FTP/weight in kilograms:
- A: 4.0 W/kg FTP+
- B: 3.2 W/kg to 3.99 W/kg FTP
- C: 2.5 W/kg to 3.19 W/kg FTP
- D: Under 2.49 W/kg FTP
Race category starts will be staggered starting with A category, followed by B, C, and D categories at one-minute intervals.
Other Important Notes
Races will have 4 power-ups enabled with equal odds (25% each): draft, feather, burrito, and ghost!

Great, none of those times work for me. Why not make more night races, at or after 8:00 pm est?
My times were wrong–the late time is 8:45PM EST.
I think the times you listed are in Pacific rather than Eastern. ZPower has them as 5:45 EST, 13:55 EST and 20:45 EST
Whoops! Fixed.
Is each time slot it’s own series? Or can you race different time slots depending on our week to week availability and points still count towards overall series?
I believe each slot is its own series–so you’re competing against the same folks each week.
What if you cat up during the series? Do you race your then current category or do you race the category you started the series?
