What Is Category Enforcement?
Category enforcement prevents Zwifters from entering a category they are not eligible for. Our goal is to increase fairness in racing.

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 C, B, or A category. But you can’t race in the D category.
