EVENTS

Puncheur’s points race with punchy climb (and sprint) segments and custom punchy climb finish. 50 FTS points per punchy climb, double FTS for repeat climb, triple FTS for 3rd (and subsequent) climb. 50 FTS points for each sprint, best time counts. 100 FIN points.

All categories start in a single pen and see riders of all categories.
Default drafting, no power ups, no steering, no TT bikes.
New route every week (rotate among about 12 suitable routes).

This is a variation of OTR’s usual Snap Crackle Pop events, which have traditionally been based on segment times not points. Still the same punchy climbs and same opportunity to work together for the best segment times, SCP style, in a new fun points race format.

In this points race format, there are finish (FIN) points, but overall points are weighted heavily to fastest-through-segment (FTS) points.
Since it's SCP, lots of punchy climbs (max 1.2km) with FTS points. If the same punchy climb is repeated a 2nd time its double FTS points, and subsequent repeats (3 or more) are triple FTS points.
Some routes also have some flat sprints for FTS points, but if you repeat a sprint then only your best time counts.
Occasionally a route will have a longish climb (greater than 1.2km), but no FTS points for such climbs.

Riders need to join ZwiftPower to see race results in points.

Work together to optimize draft for faster segment times.
Optionally ride at a relaxed pace between the timed segments.

Note that the Breakaway Braes (forward and reverse) and Clyde Kicker are considered punchy climbs not sprints, and so are eligible for double and triple FTS points where appropriate. Sgurr North climb is greater than 1.2km, so is not eligible for any FTS points.
