Bakwena 2008 - Organisers?


Oxymoron

Recommended Posts

I still do not see the Bakwena 2008 results included in Cyclelab's seeding ladder.

 

Any possible reason? Speke?

 

Also others like Carousel, Race for Victory, Kremetart etc.

 

Btw. no luck in trying to get an answer from CChip. Do they still exist?

My opinion is that it should be scrapped from the seeding ladder. Too many wheel suckers in that race and not a true reflection of strength. That race gives too many people false hope Confused The Bakwena that is.

Why blame Championchip for the seeding update problems?

 

Check if the organziers paid them for the event as yet as this is normally the hold up.

 

If all obligations has been met from the organizers then we have reason to vent our anger at Championchip. Secondly do you know how often cycle events update the system?

 

remember this is a value add we get from cycle events without any payment made.

The challenge though is that Championchip never respond to questions. I agree that the flaming could be directed to the organiser, however, the issue is timing so the first place I would think to go is to the timimng company. I could be wrong, but that is the way I think. If they have not been paid as yet, then I am fully behind them, they need to get paid for their service. I would however, appreciate an answer telling us that this is the reason that they will not release the results.

 

As to cycle events, yes, they do deliver a service that I personally value greatly and yes for no fee which I truely appreciate. They update once a month and I think that the last one was the 21st Jan, so the Bakwena could be on already if the files had been sent through to Cycle events to put on the seeding index (the race was almost 3 months ago). Cycle events do respond to mails and, from what I understand, are waiting for the files from the timing company. No one here flamed cycle events, that i can see.

I have done my homework on at least the Carousel race.

 

The Carousel race organisers have paid CChip, I have a copy of the CChip invoice as well as proof of payment.

I am trying since 25 November to get a response from CChip. I included the invoice and proof of payment in my mail to CChip with the permission of the Carousel organisers. They are even CC-ed in my mails.

 

Erick from CycleEvents (Cyclelab) also get no answer from CChip.

 

I asked about the Bakwena in my original message, because I know that the organisers of Bakwena are regular visitors on the hub.

I see they do still exist. Timed the Berge en Dale this weekend.

 

Maybe I can get hold of Colin at the next race that CChip is scheduled to time.....

1st payment to cchip was done on 6-11-2008 and the final payment to them was on 14-12-2008. Think the problem lies then with cchip regarding the querry as for the seeding for the Bakwena event

Wheel suckers? I don't think this is the only race where this kind of behavior takes place. There is many events that the conditions allow for this tactics from fellow cyclist.

 

Wrong then to put this label onto the Bakwena race

True but some are more wheel sucking than others. Hence me pointing out the Bakwena. It is still fun and good training to klap it hard near the front though Big%20smile

Great! So CChip was paid, so there should not be any reason for them not to handover the Bakwena results to either Cyclelab or to the organisers who in turn will hand it over to Cyclelab.

 

Trust you'll be following up with CChip if it's not happening.

 

So we know now that CChip has been paid by both the Carousel organisers and Bakwena organisers, but CChip (Colin) still not doing their part of the deal???

 

There is still the Kremetart and Race for Victory results missing (for seeding purposes) as well.
