Mine says color "white" Peak Timing are doing the timing for this event, and BIB is their terminology for race number. How many 947s have you done? They have colour coding for the number entered/completed. White <10 Yellow 10-14 Blue 15-19 Red 20-24 Green Road/MTB double Not sure what the colour will be for those that have done every event. edit: Peak Timing are only doing the timing. The organisers are doing their own seeding. Edited October 20, 2022 by Frosty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FondTF2 Posted October 20, 2022 Share I hope race organizers are geared up for an influx of reseed applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgarblount Posted October 20, 2022 Share Double D for me. No racing TITS the last 3 years. Cannot complain about seeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BouncingBrain Posted October 20, 2022 Share Anyone know what time the B group (front end) did last year? Pity we can't check on finishtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I did a 3:15 from J and a "Dischem ride for sight 116km) in 3:23 also got seeded in M before I asked nicely to be reseeded.

Blokman Posted October 20, 2022 Share Speaking to a few friends. The seeding seems to be very mixed up. I think they have almost no data. There are no groups in the results from last year. I would look at last year's results for a start. Adjust riders up or down from their group, or keep them in the group they started in . Then you put the first timers in place . And then deal with the riders that are fitter than last year asking for reseeding. Riders of all abilities in all groups. Eish. Spinnie is the only oke seeded correctly.

I can’t remember if it was required to enter a 947 time from last year during the entry process. If it was, then they clearly didn’t use my time. Maybe it’s a sign to just chill and enjoy the day rather than focused on being fast. Blokman and TheoG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinnie is the only oke seeded correctly. Seeding is not difficult; it’s a rank from 1-99999 based on the participant’s time relative to the winner’s time. So they simply rank last year’s results in that order. Split out those with a licence from the alphabet groups and then seed and place everyone as per the ranking.

Trust me to take the more difficult route. I just wonder how they got it so wrong. TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
