I've just finished a race but two riders who crossed the line approximately a minute and a half behind me during the race, are listed as finishing before me on the Results screen even though they are correctly listed as behind me on the Unfiltered screen.
As far as I can tell, I haven't been bumped up a category.
Anyone have any idea why the results would differ from the unfiltered data?
This is the race: https://www.zwiftpower.com/events.php?zid=39359
(Obviously, I'm not supposed to be bothered about this as it's not even a real race, but I am....)
<joke>

Looks like the results screen is showing that you took 11 hours to complete a 4-lap race! Now that is some going. And you still got bronze. Result.

Yup, 64 minutes 55 seconds looks like it's been interpreted as 11:04:55 but not for everyone whose time was over one hour. Must be a bug in their software...
Anyway, I'm gonna claim a moral victory in class C!

I just read somewhere (FB Zwift sides) that instead of DQing people now they are dishing out 10 hour penalties. Obviously something in your ride has upset the system (too much power for your group, no HR monitors???? )

welshfarmer: really? Or are you trying to wind me up?
It looks as though some riders were DQ'd as they appear on the unfiltered list but not in the results.

I was wearing a HRM and the HR data has uploaded successfully to Strava but, oddly enough, it doesn't show on Zwiftpower. Looking a little more closely, 7 out of the 15 racers do not have HR data and all show finish times in the 11 hours+ range whereas all the riders with HR data are within ~1hr range...weird.

I averaged 2.93W/Kg for the race, which is well inside the Cat C limit that I had entered and I've not received any sort of notification/email to say I was penalized

(Note: I was also using a Tacx Vortex smart trainer so no zpower to confuse the matter.)

You only need HRM in A class. Your placing is based on class. I'm on tacx vortex to. Strange result reference your time. I expect they will correct it? It's an error.

Get on their Facebook pages and question it.  Someone will sort it out for you

I don't do Facebook so I'll leave the results as-is.

Hopefully, this heads up will be useful to the other Zwifters here...
