FootballingCyclist Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Ok so this is what boggles my mind the most!!! Stellenbosch Cycle Tour(Fairly "Big" event in terms of entrants) - New print on the spot system was tried and was an absolute BALLS UP!! Bouckaert Soenen("Small" race) - Pre printed numbers, Walked in, collected, Walked out!! 99er Cycle Tour("Small race") - Pre printed numbers, Walked in, Walked out!! Cape Town Cycle Tour(Biggest race in the world) - Print on the spot- BALLS UP!!! Soooooo, The 1st "big" race was a balls up with the print on the spot system, then there were 2 "smaller" races which had pre printed numbers and ran smoothly.. Then you have the BIGGEST race in the world, and you go back to what didn't work properly the 1st time?? Please SOMEONE explain the logic... Small races - Pre printedBig races - On the spot I'm missing something here, clearly...

Spinnekop Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 R4S on the spot printing was also a cockup FootballingCyclist and Vetplant 2
DJR Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 .................or I will race with my own homemade number.I work a long day today and tomorrow. I would normally work on Saturday morning as well, but have specially taken off to have the time to go and fetch team DJRs numbers. If it is a nightmare, I might just join you with home made numbers and an attitude to match.
Boerklong Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Or how about PLEASE PRINT ALL NUMBERS STARTING NOW and go back to the old number collection process tomorrow... How does that sound??That actually sounds like somebody doing their job and defusing the situation, BUT that will mean something is at fault, which will look bad FootballingCyclist 1
Boerklong Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Please make me a number as well. Please make sure of the spelling. Im Sean and not Shaun. Thanks jandemoerin 1
dev null Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) Just as well we decided yesterday to go on Saturday morning early. Tomorrow afternoon I have a VIP ride and photo session with my son and the XC pro's at Coetzenburg, so I can't go then. Edited March 8, 2018 by Moridin

flymango Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Aiming for a sub-3 hour registration. Doubt my legs will last all the standing. L46, Lynnie_the_Snail, Mamil and 16 others 19
buchanan Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 I managed to get my number after 30 minutes wait in at that point a very short queue - but I was one of the first ones in at 9:30.The printers were printing multiples of the same number...printing numbers completely skew...then taking ages to print for other entrants. I felt really sorry for the helpful young ladies, in the firing line, trying to operate the malfunctioning printers.I just hope they can sort this out in the remaining two days.Seems a risky idea to try on the spot printing for so many thousands of numbers. The old system worked perfectly. T-Bag68 and Vetplant 2
Meezo Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 guys like CWC and the like at the expo must be having tough times selling, not much people inside or and many most are angry or have run out of lunch time mikkelz 1
