Zwift Games // The Biggest ever Zwift Prize Pot // Announcement

[@action156]

sounds marvellous, and great for the outright and male/female categories, but of course, as an older rider, will there be either ABCD and/or age groups? As mentioned by others, once money gets into the picture cheating prospers - I was beaten last night by a 76 year old woman pushing 4.6w/kg for half an hour in C grade...

The IRL finals would keep cheating at bay or live video either double power recording

Will there be Championships for just the elite, or separate Championships for A, B, C and D cat riders?

I think you 100% covered in the vid what most comments might bring up: Zwift is slightly worried about My Whoosh, and with money on the line the cheating will only get worse.

this will become a cheater's paradise. there are literally hundreds of ways to cheat and i fear all the winners will be cheaters of some sort. im usually optimistic about things, but this is one where i am very skeptical itll look well when everyone goes "uhh... that was a 29 min alpe by a 65 year old guy"

Elite riders have to be ZADA (Zwift Accuracy and Data Analysis) verified. This is an in depth process of recording yourself while dual recording power, heart rate, and cadence. For the elite men and women, they have to submit a very detailed weigh in video 2 hours before the race as well as live broadcast themselves and their trainer during the race. Additionally, all of their dual recorded data needs to be uploaded to zwift within an hour of completing the events. There will most certainly be cheating in the lower categories, but Zwift is indeed making it very difficult for anyone to cheat that is actually competing for money.

@@_Doodle-bob im aware of ZADA tests. youd be suprised the lengths people go to fake duals and weigh ins even with the protocals. cant wait to see a 6.5wkg alpe climb heh. youd be suprised how many zwifters on elite teams cant perform the same power outside. even the ones doing ZADA tests/weighins
