Super Seeding

At the risk of opening a XXXL can of worms. Why does it take so long for results to make it to Super Seeding.

The timing is electronic, so once Championchip and Winningtime supply the results in a standard format, importing them into the seeding database should be very, very simple.

 

Even if CC and WT don't play along, converting their data really isn't very difficult.

cedings (seedings) is for egotistical, insecure, competitive, (add your own adjective here) Jozi dwellers.

 

Don't lower yourself to quantify what should be a quality experience.

I hear you KF, and I really don't need Super Seeding to tell me how slow I am. Trying to stick to the VB bunch is evidence enough.

 

The point here is that with a little standardisation and a bit of programing, maintaining Super Seeding should be very simple and results should not take so long to reflect.

The argument is always that they have to wait for results to be approved by the organisers of the race before they can use them. Don't know how valid it is though.

 

Maybe one day we can have one timing system or at least a common database which updates automatically including your seeding as the race finishes.

 

Wishful thinking.

I just think that it is an absolute dog show. You cannot justify why a race in Feb is only added in July/August.

 

You ask questions, you get ignored.

 

I understand the organisers have to sign them off, but come one...

[/quote'] Hi KF I hear wot you are saying and I suppose the novalty will wear off soon, but it is exciting for a rookie like me to see how your seeding improves after being a 90kg (1.73cm) lump of lard and having dropped 18kg. I hope it wears off cause I am not sure I will get any better. have to say that the enjoyment far outweighs the need to race my brains out........so yep get your point.
