I really don't care what you do, that's obviously entirely up to you, but I am quite interested (at the moment anyway!) in the nonsense you keep writing and trying to balance it out with some facts.
And you've done it again in this post - you're saying things about ZRS that aren't true because despite what you said previously you still don't understand it. And you have an incredible lack of curiosity - you love to pick out what looks like a potentially odd result and confidently claim it backs up your point when you've either misunderstood something or a few seconds of looking slightly deeper will explain it. Which is exactly what you've done below.
Yes, if you do actually understand the basics of ZRS, and you employ a tiny bit of curiosity to the results you're picking out, it is completely logical.
Firstly, it appears that at the moment scores in races go up for the top half of finishers and down for the bottom half, (with some extra bonus for the podium). The arrows you see next to a rider's score simply tells you how their score has moved since their last race. So if they are in the bottom half and their score went up, that just means their seed score went up at some point between their last race and this one, increasing their ZRS. It will have gone back down in this race, but shows as an up arrow because their score is now still higher than it was in their last race.
The person who came 2nd and is still 60 points away from that 350 boundary - a quick look shows it's his first race on Zwift since April so no previous 90 day power to base an accurate seed score on going into this race. So he started with a low seed score and has increased it in this race which will accelerate him moving up if he keeps finishing high up (although if you had your way and got rid of the 90 day rolling seed score he'd take much longer to move up to where he should be of course).
The person who came 31st was already right on the cusp of the Cat boundary of 350 - he was previously at 349 and increased by just 2 points for coming well within the top 27% of finishers. Others who finished above him with lower scores are obviosuly in the process of moving up (or just had a one-off really good race for them). Some people are inevitably on the boundary of categories, there's nothing illogical about that.
All perfectly logical and took a couple of minutes to see.
