Wednesday nights just got better – our Zwift league is back!!

Racing returns this Wednesday with a whole new format – more courses, more styles of racing – including draft legal pack racing – and the opportunity for clubs to go head-to-head.

The Triathlon Ireland Zwift Autumn League is a test of overall Zwift racing ability and runs from October to just before Christmas.

There are nine races in the autumn league, beginning with an individual time trial this Wednesday 21st October and then visiting some of the best race courses on Zwift twice over the following eight weeks.

A rider’s six best results from nine count for the final league table.

Each week’s club scores are decided by the best three male and two female riders – so get your clubmates signed on!

Team Competition

Each week, the team competition adds the results of a team’s top five riders to compile a team score. We will be asking triathlon clubs to set up their teams on Zwift Power so if you would like to join your club team, contact your TI Club Committee! Clubs will be able to register more than one team.

There are five team competition tables (A Cat Team, B Cat Team, C Cat Team, D Cat Team)

Make sure you have joined the right team on ZwiftPower before racing as amendments cannot be made afterwards. (In contrast to our previous Time Trial League riders must not choose Triathlon Ireland as their team if they want to be included in the team competition).

PRIZES

As well as winning the bragging rights for finishing top of a particular category in the league, a range of great prizes will be awarded to the best riders in each table at the end of the league.

To be eligible however, a rider will have to be a 2020 Race Licence holders or 2021 Full Member (or their junior/U23 equivalent); and will have to register in advance (so we know who to include).

Scoring

The following points will be assigned to the finishers in each category.

1st : 61 points
2nd : 56 points
3rd : 51 points
4th-50th : 49-3 points
Every finisher from 51st onwards will receive 1 point.
