So maybe you should mail and ask? Maybe you have something wrong with your profile?

Howzit All,

 

Firstly I have to humbly apologize for the MAJOR multiple emails you received today. I tried to resolve the issue as quickly as I could but by the time it was resolved alll the mails have already been sent out to the mail server in the states. Im really really very sorry for that.

 

Then I just want to clarify regarding the seedings and batchings. Yes, batch sizes have been reduced from 200 down to 70 per batch. Main reaosns being the technical route at van Gaalens. We want to try and eliminate bottlenecks as much as possible. So it is totally possible for you to move from ex. B batch to E batch or even from A to D.

 

Batches according to Seedings is attached. I hope this helps.

Hi Swart Piet you are right about the Van Gaalens course being a technical one and I do see the mind set behind the seeding setup for this race and about the emails I get it **** does happen

 

And for my 2 c I really hope this system works cause South Africans are very strange ie ultra competitive even when we don't think we are and I absolutely love it as it makes us all stronger for the better.

All I want to know is who to mail to sort out my multiple profiles and skewed results. The friendly ladies at registration keep changing it and mailing SAS but it just stays the same.

According the swartpiet's mail on batches and your SAS seeding you should be A batch brotha, but I think they chose the wrong Johan

I didn't get an email but I am not complaining as my Batching is just fine with me :thumbup:

Email Carla if there is a problem with your profile entries@advendurance.com I have done it many times, especially after sani this year. No wait after nearly every race that uses SS timing ha ha.......

I have actually given up with the sedding. It is like a black hole and to be honest I don't think it shows a true reflection on where people stand. It should be cleaned out and everyone start over again. Only way it will get sorted.

So according to this list, my results for Clarens, Mabalingwe and Down & Dirty have not been incorporated into current seeding. Might explain why my index hasn't changed since Sabie in February.

 

Something for SAS to look into fixing!
