fandacious Posted September 16, 2007 Share I'm sick of this. After every race it takes them longer and longer to load the results to their website. I'm a software developer and their system isnt complicated. How hard would it be for a SMS notification of your results? I think its high-time we started putting some pressure on PPA and WT to get their asses in gear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willehond Posted September 16, 2007 Share So fandacious, what was your time in F? I see the C group time was around 2:10. What was yours and do you know the winningtime? Maybe we can have the results on here before WT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fandacious Posted September 16, 2007 Share My garmin showed 2h11 but I'd like to see what WT have. I heard the first guys came in around 2h04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted September 16, 2007 Share I've done 2 mtb races recently (Urban Assault and Northern Farm) but neither of them got my result. At Urban I was given the wrong number board (with chip embedded) and at Northern Farm I simply wasn't timed and nobody took the chip out of my number afterwards ......... I handed it in later when someone mentioned they'd lost theirs on the route and the guy at the finish seemed annoyed. Surely part of our entry goes towards timing ............... why did I bother buying WT and Champ Chip devices!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest colonel Posted September 17, 2007 Share I thought you had a 45min pee and fell off the C group then you chased back to be a minute ahead? Not bashing just trying to make sense of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman1834 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Well I dont have a result on the website. What should i do??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pererace70 Posted September 17, 2007 Share I think the reason we haven't got our results yet is that the WT team is up in Joburg for the Dome 2 Dome. I remember it was the same story for another race last year (I can't remember which one...) where the Capetonian's had to wait. Dylan, if you were a minute ahead after Hells, a) you climb better than me you bast*d and b) why did you want to pack it all in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt matter where they are. Everything can be uploaded with a laptop and 3G - they dont HAVE to be in Cape Town to do it. Its just plain "slapgat" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, thinking about it perhaps the people they've left down here don't know how to upload the results. The people up north can't access the results if they're being stored down here on a PC which isn't connected to a network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own an IT company and if I tried that excuse on one of my clients, I'd lose them straight away. WT's attitude is "PPA uses us and will carry on using us, so why make any effort to get the results up in a hurry". I think it stinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it stinks[/quote'] I agree, it ticks me off as well, the fact that they did the D2D yesterday, our little funride here in CT must take a back seat, not important for us to know our results....rubbish !

Moaning on a forum they probably don't read very often probably wont help though.Phone one of the head honcho's with your complaint, that'll help.

fandacious Posted September 17, 2007 Share What I was thinking is that maybe we start an email petition, get all riders to sign it (maybe by putting their chip number down) and then send it to PPA and WT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
