mr HED Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 hi guys what has happened to SAS seeding... barberton i was given a racetec board. cannot get into site for a while now.. any news?
Skubarra Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Big problems at SA Seeding. Money issues, lawsuits and all that kind of stuff. Don't have the details but curious that the hub bloodhounds haven't caught on to it yet..

Don't have the details but curious that the hub bloodhounds haven't caught on to it yet..I don't know anything about it, but it doesn't surprise me.I've found them to be super incompetent and for a long time I have actively avoided events they timed.
JBK Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Their website has been down for almost 3 months now... Still sad though as in general they still provided a very good service to the MTB fraternity... Their seeding scores were always a bit weird but again, in general, it was a very useful seeding system... Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
Traveler Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 I don't know anything about it, but it doesn't surprise me.I've found them to be super incompetent and for a long time I have actively avoided events they timed. Same here, if I saw SA Seeding, I avoided for 2016/17. And the intention was to carry on in 2018.
ScaredShiftless Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Sad that they have gone MIA. I wonder what system the race organisers will use to seed starters at races now...? Should be interesting...
khayale Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 USN has already migrated to Racetec... According to a Racetec rep they are looking to monopolize the market with seeding. It should be an interesting time ahead...

Don't have the details but curious that the hub bloodhounds haven't caught on to it yet..this is the second thread on the topic other one just died a slow death because the "bloodhounds" are probably their buddies, Who knows? Funny enough I was just looking at the Tankwa Trek Seeding list & SAS was used, strange.
Koos Likkewaan Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 USN has already migrated to Racetec... According to a Racetec rep they are looking to monopolize the market with seeding. It should be an interesting time ahead...Asked this before, but no reply. Anyone know where I can find USN schedule for 2018. Avianto was done in January, but no idea when the next event is happening.
thisismyotherbike Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 USN has already migrated to Racetec... According to a Racetec rep they are looking to monopolize the market with seeding. It should be an interesting time ahead... Foreboding Any idea what Racetec charges races for timing? Always wondered what % of our entry fee goes to timing, those done by smaller timing companies or just by the organisers (by hand) are usually significantly cheaper Edit: Despite monopolies being a bad thing generally, I can't fault the Racetec system. In my case it has always worked flawlessly.
Guest @BAZA Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 I called SA Seeding Two weeks back to ask about web sitethe lady told me to use Jumper trax for all my seeding / entries and the SAS data would be moved over
Skubarra Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 I called SA Seeding Two weeks back to ask about web sitethe lady told me to use Jumper trax for all my seeding / entries and the SAS data would be moved over The odd thing is Fritz Pienaar, owner of Advendurance who runs the Trailseeker, Toyota Warrior and National mtb series, also started & co-owned SASeeding which used to handle the seeding/entries for these races. Why would he move the seeding/entries from his own company to jumpertrax?

Why would he move the seeding/entries from his own company to jumpertrax?No ideaphoned to talk to Giraldo i was told he is in Switzerland so asked about web site and i was told in future use JumperTrax asked what of my old seeding and was told Data will be move so left it at that
Guest @BAZA Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 i am sure it is a incestuous industry everyone has a finger in everyones pie
mr HED Posted February 7, 2018 Author Posted February 7, 2018 thank you for the update guys. this is going to be a real mess for seeding of events for a while..
