Hi Guys,
I know this topic has been covered, but.........
I did a bkool summer cup ride the other day (week 5E) and it took 47 mins.
The next day I checked the league standings for that stage and my time isn't showing in the standings at all.
It is however showing near the top in the "My Attempts" section. So it's pretty obvious that I actually did do the section, but also pretty frustrating for it not be showing where it should be.
I was going to work my way thru all of the sections and see how I get on, but if they're not registering in the league, then I don't see the point in actually completing them. I definitely won't be doing that particular section again.
Can someone tell me in simple terms the best way to select a league ride so that it will register as being completed in the league.
BKOOL, you need to sort this software out regarding league rides, simplify it please!

If it's showing on 'my attempts' it will eventually show in the official league table. I've been waiting three days for them to verify my last ride.
If you click on your ride to see the details there's likely a red X against some category on it. Mine always gets flagged for weight change but then the last tide was also flagged for drop outs (didn't notice any during the ride though)

How many other stages of the summer cup have you done Hazie? And is this the only one that's not registering? Maybe the admin is on holiday and unable to verify the rides right now. Could be that everyone needs verifying because of the way this ones set up.

Bill, I've done a couple of other stages in the bkool summer cup And all of the others have counted and are in the league thingy. I'm aiming to get the rest done shortly, fingers crossed.
However, the times you guys get are incredible. I get off my bike absolutely drenched, shattered with a huge puddle of sweat on the floor, and I'm nowhere near your times.
And the power yous talk about getting is off the chart compared to my 150-200 average.
I hope that with more practice comes better times and also higher power output.

You'll get there Hazie. Most of us started off with low power output. It only improves with regular bkool sessions. Just make sure you think about recovery and that you are resting in between sessions. Anything over an hour think about protein/carbs to aid muscle soreness and recovery. My faves are chocolate milk from any supermarket or milk and bran flakes. Others here will have different recommendations.
Hazie, as Bob says, we were all making a lot less power when we got our bkool but regular sessions and especially competitions have made a massive difference. I always get off my bike drenched and shattered too, and I think that is the key. You will get to our times if you keep it up and you'll be well up on your 150 -200 average. You could try doing the same ride every week or two and you'll be able to see your power increase almost linearly. I've completed Alpe d' Huez 20 times since October (not including 30 min bail-outs) 
and I can see a very linear improvement since then.

Bit late replying to this - but the easiest work-round I've found is to use Tapiriik: https://tapiriik.com/ - it keeps any number of sites in sync. Now that BKool auto-syncs to Strava, I just run my Tapiriik Sync to push the activity to Garmin and Sportstracks
Monte, if you challenge someone's titch Hill ride it should appear in your Leagues tab. Having said that, I'm struggling to get the latest ride to appear in the Leagues tab. My leagues tab rides appears to be clogged with numerous copies of Puerto de Mainer and other summer cup rides I'll never do again. Anyone know how to delete these?
Mines the same...
