1) Eligibility

• You must connect a valid Strava account to participate.
• Ranked matches are based on indoor rides on Zwift.
• Your Strava activity must be visible enough for segment matching to work (e.g., not fully private).

2) Match format

1. Challenges are 1v1 on a league-selected map that contains two sprint segments.
2. Both riders complete the ride inside the agreed window shown on the challenge (date & start time).
3. Scoring: your time on each sprint is read from Strava. Your combined time = Sprint A + Sprint B.
   Fastest combined time wins.

3) Submitting results

• After your ride, paste the Strava activity link on the challenge page.
• The site will read the two sprint segments and update the table automatically.
• If the activity doesn’t match the map’s exact segment IDs, the result won’t count.
• If you re-upload or fix your activity (title/privacy), re-submit the link to refresh parsing.

4) Equipment & fair play

• No power/weight manipulation, virtual “tuning,” or external aids.
• Keep your trainer and power meter properly calibrated (zero-offset / spin-down as required).
• Heart Rate Monitors must be used.
• Admins may review anomalies and invalidate results if necessary.

5) Forfeits & disconnects

• If you can’t race in the scheduled window, cancel or reschedule ahead of time.
• A no-show or failure to submit an activity in the window may be recorded as a forfeit.
• Technical issues (dropouts, game crashes) are part of racing; rematches are at admin discretion.

6) Disputes & reviews

• Report issues to admins within 24 hours of the match window ending.
• Admins may request evidence (screenshots, fit files) and can uphold or invalidate a result.
• Admin decisions are final for standings.

7) Leaderboard & tie-breakers

• Primary rank: best combined time across completed challenges.
• Tie-breakers: total wins, then head-to-head record, then earliest best time recorded.

8) Maps & segments

• Each map defines the two sprint segments used for scoring.
• Segment definitions may be updated to maintain fairness (e.g., if a segment changes on Strava).
• When a map is updated, future challenges use the new definition; completed results remain as recorded.

9) Code of conduct

• Be respectful to other riders, organizers, and the community.
• No harassment, hate speech, or abusive behavior anywhere linked to the league.
• Violations may lead to warnings, result removals, or bans.

10) Rule changes

• Rules may be clarified or adjusted to keep competition fair, especially when platform changes occur.
• Material changes will be noted here with an updated date.
