My last two races on Zwift are not showing me in the results on Zwift Power. if you click the unfiltered tab at the top, it lists all the riders, and I am there. It seems that there are many riders missing from the results. 29 showing in the results but 66 in the unfiltered.

What is weird is that last night 3/4 hour after the race I was in the results but then this morning I am not.

This has happened to my last 2 races. Any idea what is going on?

    Did you have no HR monitor, were you using zPower, or did you have unusually high average power? They can get you removed from results from some races.

    I had HR monitor, I am not using a smart trainer (so I guess that means it is zPower) but not unusually high average power. 3.0w/kg

    It has always been fine - similar power, just these last two times not worked.

    Depends on the race - I've seen zpower be excluded from podium places in the rules for some races, and got removed from the results when I came second to last once for not having an HR monitor. Think it can be someone being trigger happy with the exclusions.

    You may be excluded if you entered a category but output a higher average power. Some races will bump you up into the next categories results, others will simply remove you from the results.

    Cheers for this. I am below the maximum for my category.

    Fair enough, do you have a link to the race in question?

    You have to 'toe' the line a lot more now to get into the verified results.
    Lots of focus on use of HRM.. non ZP setups... inconsistent w/kg numbers etc etc.
    You must be registered on ZwiftPower.com, you must have open Strava, you mut also be registered for certain race series.
    All because people , being people will cheat as and when they can.. and then moan because 'it's just a game,man'
    No it aint... it's Zwift. Sat on a turbo with HR at or near 180bpm , aint a game.

    If other people are "cheating" and you have to work harder - isn't that a good thing?

    I'm less and less interested what others do or dont do on it .
    I'm using Zwift for a reputable race per week and other times loading some Sufferfests onto it
    Just stating facts why rules have to be amended and changed by those on Zwift who take things very seriously.
    A social platform has its own dynamics.

    I'm getting a bit pissed-off with Zwift Power and their seemingly arbitrary disqualifications of late and the attitude to zpower in general. I have been filtered in the last couple of races even though I use a HRM, have been well inside the power limit for my category and not finished on the podium.

    I'm using a kurt kinetic road machine that has been well tested by Zwift and so the power curve is well known and should be pretty accurate. I can accept that users on mag trainers could use a lower setting to cheat if they wanted to but the Kinetics can't do that.

    Anyone on any trainer can cheat if they want to. All you have to do is lower you weight and/or height and gain an instant advantage. Personally I think "What's the point?" you're only cheating yourself, but hey, the World is full of dicks. Why treat zpower users less favourably? Are they more likely to cheat?

    I'm not really too bothered to tell the truth as I just treat the racing as an interesting and entertaining form of training.
