Tiny K Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 So are those new seedings the final seeding? Weird...... Went from E to H and now back to E. What the hell are they doing? They are now using your most current times as seeding rather than the 2:40 argus you did two or more years ago and have had that awesome seeding keeping you up there (just an example). So they heavily nail your older results and rely more on the latest ones for an accurate seeding. Tyd on daai bene af te stof en 'n bietjie harder ry.
DMC007 Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 PPA are probably banking on the fact that lots of people will join the league, The League is no longer managed by PPA, they only sponsor the Development Clubs/Riders.For the past 2/3 years they have been out-sourced to CycleLab.And I doubt very much that the entry fee will remain @ R800.

Zac.A Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 that doesnt make sense. At R800 per league entry, I can promise you that PPA want as many people as possible to ride league. Elite was normally A-E, and subvets A-F (iirc). I dont see why they would suddenly make elite ONLY a-B Because now the groups have been re-sized and all the higher groups have been made bigger, My point being that last years A-E is going to be the same people as this years A-B, if they keep it at A-E too many people will enter and it will be overcrowded.According to DMC's ladder, the indexes have all been adjusted.Now, instead of getting a 60.0 which used to be an O i think, 60.0 is equal to a V or something much lower down the alphabet.It will now be harder to get a seeding of 10.0 than it used to be.Otherwise their adjustments don't make sense.

They have been penalising for older results for a couple of years now. 2 weeks ago my seeding went from E to H and today its back at E again. Obviously they changed something with the calculations and then changed something again. Dont care anymore what my seeding is but i just want to know what the hell they are doing
Bram_on_Madone Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Since about the beginning of the year, its been almost impossible to improve your index, given the adjusted starting times and beta's they were using. Obviously when they ran their numbers, they realised that there were very few people left in the lower groups (A-D) and so they adjusted the brackets. Not sure why everybody is complaining, as people have been moaning for better ratings for months - personally I'm crapping with my revised D, I think I might get hurt a little up front there...
Zac.A Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 well i don't think its been impossible, i started in J at new year and was in E before the reseeding.But the system is definitely flawed.
MTB_Roadie Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 well i don't think its been impossible, i started in J at new year and was in E before the reseeding.But the system is definitely flawed. Are you going to race Cat1? Those people are machines and from another planet....
Zac.A Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Are you going to race Cat1? Those people are machines and from another planet.... No, thinking about racing U/16 but i have a feeling it'll be better to just ride with the normal groups that aren't racing.The league is just attack after attack and then again.If they (cyclelab) let me i will, i'm still U14 though.
MTB_Roadie Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 I am sure you can enter U16, you will do well there
MTB_Roadie Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Also in H, see you there Mtb_Roadie SWEET!! I get confused between you and splat....what bike do you ride again?
Spat Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 SWEET!! I get confused between you and splat....what bike do you ride again? Bianchi
FrankTank Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Spat + MTB_Roadie: see you guys in H. Going to be a super strong group again this year. Now to only get that spare Giant TCR Advance from brother andydude and off my lazy ass.
