Nice effort! I too am curious how this will play out, so hopefully I can give you some details (I am the winner btw): The race was very tough, it very much raced like B. I think my score was like 572 or something, going into the race, I had just been auto-moved to B a few weeks back where I'm an upper mid-pack B. I'm a longtime C and couldn't resist racing back as a "C". I was going on vacation for the 4th and peaking so I gave it all the beans on the sprint, I mostly just sat in. I think I had to close down a gap once since no one was working in that moment. I very much like the new scoring system
Congratulations on the win! Thanks for sharing your experience and perspective in this race. I think at the end of the day it will work a little better than what they have currently. As a mid-pack C being in the mix with some very strong riders comparatively is going to really push me for a bit.
Congratulations on the podium. Mine even with the poor result dropped from 440 to 439. I imagine I will be in this category for a while., but believe they will settle as well.
So I was recently promoted to Cat C and then when the new Racing Score was released my pace group was back to D yet I’ve been averaging 2.7 wkg. My Zwift racing score is 250. My vELO Rating is 637. Looking at my PB on this course I have a feeling I will get smoked. Guess there is only one way to find out! With all that said, I feel like there are too many ratings and my hope is that this new rating system brings parity and enhances the racer experience. Thanks for the insight and great effort!

I was 568, came third, and my zELO changed to 575.
I think the system will mellow out a bit as people's rating shuffles around.

That racing scoring system is wicked. I’m Category D with a 425 racing score. So I’ll have to compete with CAT A,B. 😢😢😢
That is crazy! I found the pace of my race at the start much faster than normal. We will see how things progress.
I just finished this stage 21th in our group. The results is under 36mins and my score is 525.
@@Taylor-Ma thanks for sharing interesting to see all the times and scores.
