Messier87 Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 Not sure the upcoming 99er will be used for seeding for Argus 2015. Sorry, Cape Town Cycle Tour... Yes - I think you are right that it will not count as full seeding event (100%), but it should count as a normal event with the benefit that they use separate seeding. Hence one does not have to be a PPA member to get a reasonable seeding. And then it can count 34% towards CTCT. So it could benefit non PPA members even though this year's 99'er is seeding event for CTCT 2016.
Pooyan Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 You can now check what PPA seeding they will give you on the website here: http://www.pedalpower.org.za/index.php/results-seeding/seeding/seeding-lookup/ Then this will give you an approximate of where you will be in the Argus. Question The 2014 99er race counted 100% towards your 2014 Argus seeding?

Your PPA membership status is irrelevant when it comes to seeding, only your results.

Pure Savage Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Bonk-king is referring to what % the 2015 99er race counts towards your 2015 Argus seeding.100% of my 2014 99er counted towards my seeding for my first lap of the 2014 Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cape Town Cycle Tour.
Messier87 Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 Bonk-king is referring to what % the 2015 99er race counts towards your 2015 Argus seeding.Does anybody know for a fact? If 2015 99'er counts 100% towards 2015 CTCT then I am VERY pleasantly surprised!
Messier87 Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 100% of my 2014 99er counted towards my seeding for my first lap of the 2014 Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cape Town Cycle Tour. :clap:
Pure Savage Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Does anybody know for a fact? If 2015 99'er counts 100% towards 2015 CTCT then I am VERY pleasantly surprised! I know for a FACT that if it is your BEST result to date they will use it 100%. I will give up all my strava KOM's if I am wrong.

Says the 2014 99er will be used as a seeding event for 2014 Argus Most recent event to count for 2015 is the Burger. You can keep your KOMs...

What is said and what is done I two different things. They are not going to go through the effort of removing the 99er from the list before running the seeding run.

Well, DAYUM!!! sheesh... you can't even believe what you read on the internet these days. haha.
Pooyan Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I do remember that there were a few 2014 races that counted towards your 2014 Argus seeding. How your 2014 Argus seeding were calculated: http://seeding.cycletour.co.za/findme.aspx?ss=2&eid=2014
Winstonian1984 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 It would be silly if the 99er counted 34% to the 2015 CTCT and then 100% to 2016 CTCT, because you will get penalised by 8 come the 2016 CTCT.
LarryMTB Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Help me if I'm wrong. Checked this morning with race organizers...but the last seeding event for the 2015 CTCT was in November 2014. So...work on your 2016 seeding....
Skubarra Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Help me if I'm wrong. Checked this morning with race organizers...but the last seeding event for the 2105 CTCT was in November 2014. So...work on your 2016 seeding.... Often in life people will tell you they will do one thing but in reality they go and do something else. The race organisers are no different....
Wannabe Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Last year (2014) all my PPA races got used in determining my Argus seeding. As a matter of fact, my Argus seeding and PPA seeding was the same.
