no calves Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) Ok so decided to enter for league(stars) and all went well until i saw the breakdown of the fee.R425 for admin????? is it just me or is this VERY steep??? 2 fabric numbers a bike number and a bit of admin cant add up to that amount? stars league dont even have a leaders jersey. prize money comes from entry fee so where does all this money go to? This effectively withheld me from being able to financially do this Edited January 9, 2012 by no calves
Tankman Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 I normally look at it this way. Entry devided by number of races, then determine if it is worth it. Keep in mind Cape Cobra is included and more expensive than other races. If you were to enter on race day it would cost you on average R110 per race anyway. This season seems worth it, last season with only 3 races made it easy not to enter.

This effectively withheld me from being able to financially do this I see it as this way, the more serious rider who wants to improve will pay...otherwise you will get every person entering league...i always pay late entry at races so I dont really lose out Edited January 9, 2012 by MTB_Roadie
no calves Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 Comes up to 150 per race but my question is still about the admin!
ccc2 Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 no it's not just youa lot of elite & subvets are sponsored (even if its just for the entry fee) so they don't even feel the higher entry fees. also remember from u16 down , no prize money is paid out as well. i wonder what type of prize money the winner of elite earns.
milky4130 Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Free massage after race, value = R50 & not sure if it still gets done there is free coffee & hospitality marquee after the race. I agree it still doesn't justify +R1000 entry fee considering the amount of entrants.
