GOALS:

• Test out a slimmed version of new Finals format that could be incorporated into future Zwift Racing League seasons.
• Establish a Team Ranking across the entire Region for the season and determine REGIONAL WINNERS at all levels.
• To have as much fun and fair competition as possible.

OVERVIEW:

• The WTRL Racing Finals are independent of the regular ZRL season - No team is obligated to race but all teams are invited.
• Event times can all be found by visiting our Events Page or at Zwift.
• SEMI FINALS: Tuesday 17th May 2022 (Event Times for the majority will not change.)
• FINALS: Saturday 21st May 2022 (Event times MAY have a +/- 2 hours variance to normal).
• FINALS are BOTH points races. Standard FTS, FAL & FIN points up for grabs.
• Rider Scoring structure remains the same as the regular season.
• As each round of the test is 1 race, team score is based solely on rider scoring totals (no league points).
• Points are NOT carried over. Teams and riders start from 0 points at each stage.

TEAM ELIGIBILITY

• All teams who have completed at least 1 race in ZRL Season 3 qualify.
• The maximum number of riders PER TEAM is 6
• The minimum number of riders PER TEAM is 2 (normally 4 in the regular season)
• Teams that miss the semi-finals will not be eligible for the finals.

RIDER ELIGIBILITY

• Must have COMPLETED at least 1 race in the regular season.
• Must not have received any CODE 7 or 8 DQ with that team during races 1-5 of the regular season.
  As this is a test format, we felt the number of 'casualties' in Race 6 would prevent hundreds of teams from being able to field a team.
• 3-RACE upgrade rule STILL applies
• Power Limits (published) still apply
• Riders may represent up to 2 teams

REGIONAL CUP/PLATE/SHIELD/BOWL WINNERS

• Team to score the most TOTAL RIDER POINTS in their respective races
• Per Gender, per REGION (OCEANS, EMEA, AMERICAS) Per DIVISION (A1, A2, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, D1) 
• Where teams are tied the order to determine the winner shall be:
1. Finish Points
2. FAL Points
3. FTS Points
4. Highest placing rider per team
