Scoring
Riders are ranked by points for the overall 4-race series. For each race, points are awarded based on the final position within your category:
1st place = 100 points | 2nd place = 90 points | 3rd place = 80 points |4th place = 75 points | 5th place = 70 points | 6th place = 65 points | 7th place = 60 points | 8th place = 55 points | 9th place = 50 points | 10th place = 45 points | 11th place = 40 points | 12th place = 35 points | 13th place = 30 points | 14th place = 25 points | 15th place = 20 points | 16th place and below (for all finishers) = 15 points (for all finishers)
Note: if your Zwift Racing Score increases so that your category threshold is exceeded, you will automatically move up to the next category starting from the next race. Points scored in the lower category will carry over.
Individual and Team Classifications
The overall individual ranking is calculated by adding the points earned over the four weeks.
The team classification will be based on club affiliation using your club tag in ZwiftPower. There is no limit to how many riders from a club may participate. However, for all races, the top 4 rider scores for each team will count towards the team classification.
The team ranking is given by the sum of the points obtained by the four best in each of the four races.
Individual and team classifications will be available at the following links once the series begins:
