Santa C Posted May 31, 2010 Share Hi Guys,Any of you keep getting the same problem when you go to all the mountain bike races and they seed you incorrectly?? When will we get a proper/correct seeding in this country?? Santa C2010-05-31 23:06:16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivster Posted May 31, 2010 Share I also think this system lacks a bit of objectivity. If I alway like to stand more to the front of the bunch to have a good position by the time we reach the single track. The faster guys of the bunch catch the ones in front in any case. But if your resluts are that good and you can prove it, then it's worth putting up a small fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted May 31, 2010 Share I sympathise with you as I'm in a very similar position but in this instance I have a "G" seeding and all because of one race where I in fact finished 7th (and rode it with a rigid fork) !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama baaisiekel Posted June 2, 2010 Share Ag nee wat, I dont understand their system at all, and it doesnt seem to help to query anything. It took days for them to answer my e-mail, and then it was only some vague reply saying nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crasher Posted June 2, 2010 Share I rode the shorter distances last year and the seeding worked pretty well in the latter races the first race was a bit of a disaster Doing the longer series this year and got an E seeding for this first round I would assume after you put in a good or bad performance they will update your seeding for the second race based on your performance If I had to seed myself I would of prob given myself an E anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weight Weenie Posted June 2, 2010 Share Oi Viv what bike/kit u riding ? will look out for you Oh and liscence wise, how does it work for this event, AFIK I need one, do I get it at the venue ( a day liscence ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivster Posted June 2, 2010 Share I'm riding in an Accu-Chek kit on a white Commencal. I have junior racing license, you can pay for your license when you enter. If they didn't present that option, just tell them you assumed it wasn't neccessary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ the Expat Posted June 2, 2010 Share Dankie' date=' jy ook MJ ! Where are you seeded ? [/quote'] Somewhere in A bunch...Will see how that works out. Hopefully better than Lionman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weight Weenie Posted June 2, 2010 Share Kief MJ c u and Viv there ! Viv I entered online, payed for the entry and SAS boardm but there was no liscence function ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivster Posted June 2, 2010 Share I entered through the same procedure. It should give you the option to buy a day license from the same place as the number board, but don't see it there. My dad has never bought a day license, so I would worry about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
