PPA seeding


Ollie

Recommended Posts

How would I know if my "performance" in a couple PPA-sanctioned (and Winning Time timed) events will result in an improved seeding?

 

What are the criteria to be reseeded?

 

I am currently in the Z group, and I've done four events (although none have been the long route).

Can you only be reseeded after they do their seeding run? I would like to do a reseeding after Klein Joostenberg so i can get a better start group for Die Burger. I'll need the next two rides to improve my seeding since i've only done two rides so far this year.

velo, Die Burger is a big race and will probably not use the PPA seeded number for their start groups.  They WILL however us the seeding index (your PPA seeded number calculated - not the group letter!) that Winningtime calculate and use that to set up their groups (pretty much like the Argus).  So gettin a new PPA number will be a futile excrecise for Die Burger

Thanks for the explanation Willehond. I won't bother wasting the 50 bucks for a reseeding at the moment then.

....but velo, if you want to get an even BETTER seeding index, you want a new PPA number on your back to get in a faster group in one of the PPA rides, to suck a faster wheel and get an even better index before the Burger!

Yip, thats the problem being stuck in Y. At the WCE i had to solo 30k's into the wind from Atlantis. Not a wheel to be sucked in sight. Luckily i didn't have to wipe my tears of despair away, the wind did it for me.

Hey Velo,

 

I also have a Y seeding at the moment.

 

Maybe we ride together at the Simonsvlei this w'end...

Sounds good to me. I'm looking to do a 2:45, although the damn wind may have something to say about that. How do we meet at the start?
