Skubarra Posted September 14, 2017 Share Every event you get your most recent seeding. this is done to keep the groups smaller and of similar abilities. Gone are the days of smashing an in July and riding that puppy till June! Its all in the blog as well So that one standout performance are going to last you 6-8 months instead of the full season? Not sure its going to make a big difference in practice? But still a good initiative from PPA Oh - and nice write-up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still a good initiative from PPA Oh - and nice write-up If they give more penalty to older events, it should as it will force people to actually do more events to keep "current" . Not sure if they did that though, very little info available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they did that though, very little info available. I think they were quite consistent in giving through the penalties on the seeding index. "Problem" was wat Savage mentioned, if you managed to start your season with a good seeding you were set for the whole season with your permanent number even if your actual index dropped Yes you will be "forced" to do more events, but I think the majority of people with good PPA seedings do a number of events anyway. My guess is the peeps "working the system" were more the exception than the rule. 'Dale and Pure Savage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have heard that even in the previous Sportif's there were mid fielder's popping their timing chips in mates pockets for better seedings... Wonder if many people know if racetec takes photos when you cross the line for this exact purpose billygoat0523 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if many people know if racetec takes photos when you cross the line for this exact purpose wtf what would be the point of that? If you are fast enough its not hard to get a good seeding by yourself and if you are not the fast groups will drop you at the first climb anyway - will never understand humanity...

You can spot them from a mile away.. No idea why they do it? He was dropped on the flats spent the day being passed by groups, my folks even passed him...

Thor Buttox Posted September 15, 2017 Share My PB is 23 mins With really stubborn Gatorskin and only one tyre lever, I reckon I was also close to 10 boiled eggs. And a tossed lever. Edited September 15, 2017 by Thor Buttox Pure Savage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
