seeding seems very inconsistent - I was in D at Emperors, B at D2D and will be in B at Satellite, and have a D start for the 94.7

 

I agree.. I don't think we can call it seeding anymore. It's a Lucky Draw :thumbdown:

Agree because it doesn't matter what system they use for seeding (racetec, pedal power or their own) your seeding should be very close. It's not like we all going to say O well let's cane it for the racetec seeding race and sit up for ASG seeding races.

Race packs (x5) collected and successfully reseeded all done in under 10 mins.

 

I guess next year all the joburg guys will collect their race packs in Pta.

I guess the steep entry and skimp race pack is so they can send out 5 of the same sms about a link to the weather to me.

Whats the forecast like? Since you've obviously got one of my sms's

Ha, ha.

 

I went on the ASG seeding page, and my index is 100 -  based on the 2013 Jock.  I since then rode a number of ASG events, which does not even show up.

 

The mind boggles considering the money we pay for ASG races.

 

At least I am in the correct group for tomorrow!!!!

soooo, I clicked on my age instead of open seed when I entered.  So that why I got VA.  Now Im the lucky winner of FL as all the better number taken.

 
So I cant blame asg for my seeding but will be taking my frustration out on the FL group.....   :devil:  :devil:

You got a race pack?!  I didn't even get pins. Can't say I will be tempted to enter an ASG race again any time soon.

Got you beat there. I have the same 100 for 2013 Jock but 7.67 for Emperors palace 2015 (results only whatever that means) and 7,67 for 2015 Satellite classic results only so seeding of 38,5!

Knowing ASG, they will come, apologise for the fokop and then offer you a discount or extra special early bird entry to one of their other events, or a nice discount on some Rudy project surplus stock.

 

I have defended ASG pricing before, because I felt that there was value, their premium price was justified. BUT if that value is no longer there, then they better have a good hard look in the mirror. I have always said we cannot dictate prices to people, but if this trend continues, I will simply stop supporting their events and rather do other races.

 

I hope somebody else uses their events model and creates competition for them, as this might shock them back into shape. Their mini monopoly will not last long if their events are ***.

I've had a mare. Apparently registration at cycle lab isn't on today. Can I register at the race tomorrow????

CL was yesterday, today is at Bruce Reyneke in Pretoria. From what I've read there is no registration pickup at the race tomorrow
