Zwift’s Race Score Categorisation
Zwift Racing Score is on a scale of 0-1000 (higher is better), and categories are broken up by assigning Racing Score ranges to each category.

Race Score 725-1000
B GRADE
Tapio - Spirit of the forest, hunt and bears.
Race Score 575-725

Formed in August 2021, SISU Racing has rapidly become one of the most prominent and innovative community-led teams racing on Zwift. We're excited to launch our inaugural SISU Racing Club Championships, and all Zwifters from all clubs are welcome to race!
In the 2023/24 ZRL Season breaks, we'll race and crown a Club Champion in four racing disciplines (iTT, GRVL, CLIMB and CRIT) by grade and gender. We'll also have a GC for riders who race in all four disciplines, with the opportunity to be crowned Club Champion by grade (A+, A, B, C and D) and gender.
The Club Championship will be awarded to the leading SISU Racing Member (a rider who has listed SISU Racing as their team on Zwiftpower and is an active member of the Team Discord).
Race in your favourite discipline, a few or all! Every discipline you ride will provide one entry into the prize draw. After the Championships, all entries will be entered into a draw, and the winners (in order of being drawn) can select from the prizes generously provided by team supporters.
