Something I wrote to "PPA" some on 02 June 2013 - this team has not got anymore prize money (their entry for the team compertition was R1200 and finishing 2nd to date they have received R1000 - certainly not how the prize money was been advertized) - would this be called fraud? "The 2nd place team has asked me to investigate as they only received R1000 for the team prize in the Elite Cat. Here is the link to al the info quoted: http://www.pedalpower.org.za/road/road7/licensing/ Number of teams entered according to team result 10 at R1200 per team Thus R12 000. Rule 16.5 - 80% of this is meant to go back to prize money in the team compertion i.e. R9600 prize money for the elite team competition! Only 3 prizes - how can the 2nd team only get R1000? Here is the ref - if you don't have time to go to the link: The results showing 10 teams! Teamname Points 1. Focus 238 2. Smith & Assosiate 233 3. Orbea SA 222 4. Intellibus 221 5. CWC 193 6.
