flymango Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) Received a few minutes ago from the PPA: "... This year, for the first time, PPA is issuing MTB-specific seeded numbers, which will differ from your road funride number and road seeding. We are busy finalising a FAQ in this regard and will upload it to the website tomorrow. The first seeding run of the new membership year is envisaged to take place in the first week of August -get your friends to renew their subs soonest so that they can be included in that seeding run. Your 2010-2011 funride number remains active until the first seeding run has taken place. ..." Edited July 19, 2011 by flymango
firewolf Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Good. A roadie is a roadie and a MTB dude is a MTB dude.
Jaco-fiets Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 How will they do this? Will they just send everybody that did a MTB race a MTB seeded nr or do you need to request one?

udxcob Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Am I being dof? Why don't they just use our SAS numbers?
flymango Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 Am I being dof? Why don't they just use our SAS numbers?Probably I'm being dof, but do all weekend warriors have SAS numbers?
raptor Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 very good idea, its to easy to get a good seeding for road races by doing short mtb races
scotty Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Am I being dof? Why don't they just use our SAS numbers? Ditto, my CSA lic number and SAS lic number are the same.
Tankman Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Just one more way for PPA to F^#* up the seeding and make more money when you now have to pay R80 (or whatever they charge) for upgrading your mtb number. We need a national seeding system!!
Spat Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Looks like they still doing the same for road, if you do both MTB and Road the MTB events still affect your road seeding. http://www.pedalpower.org.za/blog/news/new-mtb-seeding-seeding-changes/

We need a national seeding system!!Hey Tankman, that's exactly what SASeeding is, if you have ever done a saseeding race and paid for a number then that number is yours for life
Tankman Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Can you use that number at any event? Will your number be seeded correctly? Does all event organisers subscribe to this system. If no, then the idea might be there but not quite yet what I mean.
udxcob Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Ja it is mtb only and for now only certain events country wide (mtn series for example) ultimately all rides should be saseeded events but I doubt that will ever happen, there are just too many different organisations
