HBO Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Are you sure R4V is in the seeding results on PPA?100% sure
Frosty Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Are you sure R4V is in the seeding results on PPA?Yes, it is there.
Long Wheel Base Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I did, yes. It was also a reseeding at registration. I wasn't in the group that got DQ'd. We were a few minutes behind that bunch. (And no, I wasn't one of the okes who did get DQ'd, but dropped back far enough to get a result).Ok cool. Ja then definitely look at a re seeding. Especially with 947 having 5 year gaps there is in theory more space in the vet groups. Good luck.
Underachiever Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 100% sureIt's there but look at the race weighting used when determining your index. Sunday's R4V does not count towards your index. It's weighting = 0. For me anyway.

For me anyway. the weighting is 100 since it is the only race they use. Do you agree with my maths or did I somewhere made a calculation error?
boredgirl Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Jeez but it is difficult to log in for this annual visit to this website. I see it's changed it's name too since I was last here. I get the same seeding every year. It's never a surprise. I live in the H-K section of the race. This year I am in "I". What surprises me though is when I ride with male friends, they get the same time as me, none of us does any seeding races and come 947 time they are seeded ahead of me. So even though someone said they only look at last year's result (if you don't do any seeding races) it seems that they do. Or they are very sexist. Seeding wise I am ok, I know I belong in H-K Scotty, I will look for you on the way to the pen
Underachiever Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 the weighting is 100 since it is the only race they use. Do you agree with my maths or did I somewhere made a calculation error?I would guess it depends on the individual. Over the last 12 months I raced D2D, 947, Emperors and R4V. Interestingly enough PPA only used my D2D result for my index. So it's weight = 100% towards the index. But the penalty of 7 was excluded from my index??.

Ryinc Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 the weighting is 100 since it is the only race they use. Do you agree with my maths or did I somewhere made a calculation error?I think the mistake you are making is that you are multiplying instead of dividing through by beta value.(your formula is also missing a bracket i think) Step 1: time/winner time - 1 = .1911 in your caseStep 2: divide result by beta (.81) = .235952Step 3: multiply by 100= 23.5952 In step 2 if you mutiply by beta instead of divide you get a 15.48

HBO Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 You need to convert the time into minutes. thanks.
ScottCM Posted September 16, 2015 Author Posted September 16, 2015 i group seems like a good place to be You in "G" not "I" unless you falling back?
FlashJordan Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Still deciding whether I want this or not, Theo. I prefer to enjoy these races, not get clubbed by you okes from the gun. You got any magic potion you can prescribe me from your veterinarians cupboard... Ha, ha. If only I could (would?), I would also be a lot faster......
Prince Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 You in "G" not "I" unless you falling back? Got some mates in "i" so tempted!
