Skubarra Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 SA Seeding is just miles better at...well everything than PPA. Yes, they got like a whole website for your mtb ranking http://www.saranking.co.za/ Only pity that the rankings haven't been updated since 2013...
Cav' Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Yes, they got like a whole website for your mtb ranking http://www.saranking.co.za/ Only pity that the rankings haven't been updated since 2013...I think they stopped using that website all together as you can find the rankings/index on their current site and its pretty up to date:http://www.saseeding.co.za/top-indexes/?sport=1&gender=male
Pure Savage Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 So, I wonder who is number one on the list now? Theuns maybe??Simon geshkeke

Like PPA is doing now... At least SASeeding can claim they did it first.
raptor-22 Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 all the seeding initiatives are loyalty programs. They reward your improving results but in order to maintain that ranking you need to keep participating in events. what about people who spend more time training and improving than simply just entering and riding events? doesn't seem to fair on those folks. so sure it can be more equitable like a simple points system would be but I guess it is what it is
Skubarra Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 what about people who spend more time training and improving than simply just entering and riding events? doesn't seem to fair on those folks. What about those folks? - How do you propose PPA/SASeeding measure their training & improvement if they can't be bothered to enter events? Follow them on Strava?

DJR Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 .............I have had better experiences with saddle sores.Ha ha, now I know how to describe what I feel every time I have to fetch something from the post office.
IceCreamMan Posted September 16, 2015 Author Posted September 16, 2015 I see they have added an individual ranking too now so you can see yr ranking within age group, gender and in total. Nice feature that. I am in the top 10 000 hehehe .... just the earth quaked, just moved into the top 8 000

Patchelicious Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 How many riders are on the list? So our ranking is out of?
Skubarra Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 How many riders are on the list? So our ranking is out of? Yep some context to the seeding would be nice (We know there is at least 10,000...)
DJR Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Well, I'm a bit angry with the PPA because my seeding is obviously wrong.......I couldn't keep up with my group and was left for dead on the first climb.......why did they seed me with a bunch of murderous killers?
Barker Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 From what I can see the PPA does not differentiate between Mountain biking and Road biking seeding. Cause my Mountain biking seeding position is same as Road biking .... and believe me it should not be....I am a scardy kat when it comes to fast downhill single tracks... i go slow..
Skubarra Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Well, I'm a bit angry with the PPA because my seeding is obviously wrong.......I couldn't keep up with my group and was left for dead on the first climb.......why did they seed me with a bunch of murderous killers? Haha! Ja this PPA seeding breaks my head. The last PPA Scenic South race - nice beta of 1.3 which makes sense given the wind & climbs. But then "mr adjusted winner" must be openly on steroids because he beat everybody by 7 minutes and messed up my race seeding. So now I'm supposed to drop down one group, but now the group "borders" have changed so I am just back to where I started - nothing changed...
Frosty Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 How many riders are on the list? So our ranking is out of?According to our president, it would be "Nine hundred and thirty million, three thousand and sixty thousand".
