If you've signed up for zwiftpower.com, they have a filtering mechanism where you can see all of the events your signed up for. Works really well. It also shows data for all the other events you've done, and it's basically the unofficial, official race result display.

I am indeed signed up on ZwiftPower, but somehow had missed the 'sign ups' tab! Thanks for the heads up!

Practise doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent. Only perfect practice makes perfect!

There are several "serious" race series or leagues, such as SZR or WTRL.
Not really. https://zwifthacks.com/app/events/ also lists events, but it's not better than zwiftpower and zwiftpower is where results, ranking, etc. can be found.
Not really. There is the Zwift Racers facebook group. Some teams have their own facebook group or discord servers.
It's the name of a team.
They're often teams, but sometimes people put the same of the race they're participating in or are about to participate in. Team names are often between brackets.
Some events still ask to do that, but it's not required and most people don't bother.
A few group rides have a Discord channel, but races usually don't (in fact I've never seen a race that does). Teams on the other hand usually have a Discord channel.

Many people aren't happy with DD. Most feel it makes it harder to break away. Sprinters love it.
It takes some practice to master drafting. You can't really control your position laterally though, so sometimes you will be pushed to the side and get out of the draft.
What's hard for you may be easy for someone else. If you watch Leandro Messineo on youtube for exemple, you'll see that he's perfectly relaxed and sitting upright drinking water from his bottle while you're dying just trying to not get dropped.

That's just stupid; the super draft only works when you're drafting. It will do nothing if you're pulling at front of a group.

Fair point, but I am never going to correct someone if it means they stop wheelsucking and actually take a turn on the front... I did mean to say the aero boost, not the super draft though... Most of the power-ups are pretty meaningless in races, save for the damn featherweight ones on the climbs (and maybe the aero boost in TTs)...

Filters by event type already exists in Zwift Companion. First goal is to bring all of the existing filters on Zwift Companion to the web so they are in sync.

Some of the stuff doesn't exist "structurally" - like the HRM requirement - so I couldn't build that. But most of the other stuff is. And if there's a big demand for a "HR Required" flag, I can certainly add that.

Looks like all your questions got answered, so don't have much to add other than nice to see a friendly name and glad to see you are back racing. You were often one of the favorites in some of those early days races. One minor thing to add regarding voice/chats. Some teams definitely make use of a "team car" on a private discord channel. Someone not doing the race can be monitoring the riders, giving feedback about who is strong (looking at zwiftpower profiles), organizing attacks, etc.

That's a pretty elaborate set-up. I haven't noticed any obvious use of such tactics in any of the races that I have done. It makes sense that if you can organize via private comms, and especially if you have someone who is observing, and not actually in the race, it would be advantageous (and as someone who has DS'd on the road from a team car, that is a pretty accurate characterization)... I do find that the draft dynamics in Zwift tend to make it a bit harder to truly ride as a team in terms of sheltering a rider as you would on the road. It also makes it easy to freelance within a group, should you be isolated from your teammates, or not be racing with a team.

Discord is pretty easy to use. A Zwift "team car" is far simpler than real life. Just a channel on Discord. You are right that while it in theory can help, in practice the draft dynamics on Zwift often make it a moot point. Double draft in particular seems to have made it even less possible to have a break escape. The best coordinated team work I've seen was a few guys who worked to time an attack with a series of power ups by teammates to spring someone. Other than that, the team car is mostly just mental support and kinda fun but not really that effective at changing results.
