stratus5 Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Burger got a bit clobbered with a beta of 0.94 and the mystery rider two minutes faster than the winning time.
Lucky Luke. Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 How do you find this 'seeding' of which you speak?Â
Lucky Luke. Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Ok, I found it, just don't use the seeding link in the footer - the server canna take it
Lucky Luke. Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Hey I got an index of 0 for the league hill climb
stratus5 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Posted December 6, 2011 Could you please explain in English? The PPA considers the winning time to be 2:13, not the actual time of 2:15 for seeding purposes. 2:13 is supposedly the time the top riders in SA would have achieved had they ridden. Nobody quite knows who these mystery top riders are as even when Darren Lill (SA champ) competes, the winning time is lowered. The beta of 0.94 is relative to the Argus. This implies the Burger is 6% easier. Cape Cobra etc will get a beta of 1.2 or more.
LeTurbo Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 This whole log-in MyPPA system is SUCH a ball ache.
andydude Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Ai there's at least two spots where I could've ridden harder... Tongue in cheek - I'm happy with my seeding. Out of interest; for MTB seeding, my 2011 Burger MTB index is 19.0 and my Road index is 18.8. The 2011 Argus is also close with MTB 29.4 and Road 30.6. Johan - miskien moes jy nie gestop het vir daardie coke nie! G for Die Burger is probably not that bad. You were 524th so if you make a group 80 big then group G would be position 481 - 560 (e.g. group A would be 1 - 80).
andydude Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Hey I got an index of 0 for the league hill climb  Well done... that makes you the best of the best!
Lucky Luke. Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Well done... that makes you the best of the best! Â I dunno there must be a few guys with negative indices
andydude Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 I dunno there must be a few guys with negative indices Ok ok the best of the positives then! Or wait, what is 0? A positive? Negative? Let me get back to work...
andydude Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 The beta of 0.94 is relative to the Argus. This implies the Burger is 6% easier. Cape Cobra etc will get a beta of 1.2 or more. Some 2011 betas from my seeding table: Argus 0.99Die Burger 0.94Klein Joostenberg 0.59 ("easiest")Cape Cobra 1.52 ("most difficult")

Zac.A Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 I thought I'd drop to C this month but my hillclimb kept me up My die Burger is nowhere near to my seeding But...My Die burger mtb challenge is still seeded at 0.00 with a beta of 0.87 for the 30km, system is wack.
nuge Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 i love reading these seeding threads, makes me feel better about my own dodgy maths skills
