ChrisF Posted February 9, 2023 Share 1 hour ago, Jbr said: It also probably brings a lot less people, so less processing, who knows… The Winelands event was only 2 weeks ago, and yet its results were used for 99er seeding. This was my first ever road event with a Racetech chip (other than a slow CTCT last year), so it was most certainly used for my 99er seeding. Possibly the logistics of continually receeding the CTCT number of riders ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bub Marley Posted February 9, 2023 Share 2 hours ago, waveduke said: Just checked the small print: "The short period between the Gryphon 99er and the CTCT 2023 has created some unsolvable logistical challenges. One of these is that 99er participants’ times will not automatically be used for seeding purposes for the 2023 CTCT. The organisers of the CTCT have, however, indicated that CTCT entrants who have participated in the Gryphon 99er Cycle Tour, may submit a re-seeding request if they believe their Gryphon 99er result will improve their starting time for the 2023 CTCT. The results of the 2023 Gryphon 99er Cycle Tour will automatically be taken into account for seeding purposes in the 2024 CTCT." They say this every year. Its mainly because they’ve already printed the numbers for the goodie bags. But ya, if you want a better seeding just submit a reseeding request and they normally just switch it out for you.

Possibly the logistics of continually receeding the CTCT number of riders ? CTCT seedings usually are released in the week after the 99er - which is why the 99er is not an official seeding race for the same year's CTCT (I think its a pretty raw deal for the 99er organisers) However how the Tour de PPA can then be an official seeding race for this year's CTCT when the 99er isn't and it happens after seedings are released is a complete mystery to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EGranted, I literally ‘placed’ last year in the half distance lol. Think I got 4th in my age group or something Edited February 9, 2023 by MORNE ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
