Borrowing a rider

Finding an available rider from another club, the category rule, and reading the outcome.

Managing your account

Edit your own profile, pause your racing, and understand which numbers you can change and which the Zwift sync owns.

Settings

Race types, club profile, recruitment, registration options and verification — in the order to touch them.

Reading your roster

What every column on My Team tells you, including the one most captains ignore.

Bulk import

Two ways to bring an existing roster in, and when not to bother.

How Drafted Racing works

The concepts underneath everything: teams per competition, statuses, and the borrowing chain.

Say when you can race

The two availability layers — per-race, and your recurring weekly hours.

Your team page

What My Team shows you, and which controls belong to your captain.

Being borrowed

What happens when another club asks to borrow you for a race.

Connect to Zwift

Linking Zwift keeps your racing numbers current without you typing anything.

Verifications

If your club requires height and weight verification, do it before your first race.

Setting your timezone

Do this before anything else. Every race time you see in Drafted Racing is converted into your local time — and it takes that from your profile, not from your computer. Until you set it, the times on screen may be wrong for you. Go to Profile, scroll to the bottom

Sign in

There's no separate sign-up. The same box handles both — if you've never been here before, signing in creates your account. 1. Continue with Google — fastest if your email is a Google account. 2. Continue with email — type your address and Drafted Racing sends a sign-in link

What Drafted Racing actually is

You've been added to a team. Now what? Drafted Racing is where your club decides who races each week.
