WHAT IS CATEGORY ENFORCEMENT?
Category enforcement prevents Zwifters from entering a category for which they are not eligible. Our goal is to increase fairness in racing. Find more information about it here.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Zwift checks a racer's past performance using VO2max, MAP value, and FTP to determine their race category. Racers can join a category at or above their category. For example, if you are in the "C" category, you can race in the C, B, or A category. But you can’t race in the D category.
