Early Season Result Errors
Hello-
I'd like to bring something up for discussion that might be affecting people outside of my own club (SJBC). Our race team name has changed for 2010; we're now "SJBC". However, early season results like San Bruno, and I fear others toward the end of the month, may not capture these changes.
I'd hate to see racers not get the appropriate credit for their club in the BAT standings if they are in this situation. With racers moving to different teams and teams potentially modifying their race team name (like us), there's an opportunity for mistakes to happen.
On a more personal note with our club, we had the top 2 finishers in the 35+ category at San Bruno. However, the results aren't correct and I'm hoping the promoter will modify them accordingly.
Lorri & board, is there anything we can do to make these transitions better for riders and clubs? BAT standings are important to some clubs and I'd hate to see teams lose out on potential points for something that would seem easy to fix.
-Thanks,
Todd Manley
SJBC President & Race Team Coordinator


We may have found a issues with our 2010 RaceDay Software. We are looking at the issue and will keep you posted. Thanks Jonathon and Tim for letting us know. As you are at the races stop by and see the new 2010 RaceDay software in action

This doesn't match the results on USA Cycling:

So, tmanley - how are those racers listed on USA Cycling's website? And does that match their SBO listings? I think we can look at a racer's team name and club on USAC, but I'm guessing that only that person can do the same on SBO and other registration sites.
Thanks for working on your team, particularly with the name change. Trust me that when we're trying to figure out who is who in a break group or a fast moving peleton, it is nice if the registration list matches the logos on the jerseys (or at least if the team names are consistent between similarly dressed folks).

A day that I'm on the bike is a good day.

I think the concern here and the problem is that riders need to make sure in thier profile it is right. Second I have been working with Bill Nicely and Ken Hernadez to make the Database in RaceDay eaiser to update and match what is at USAC. We will contiune you to work on the issuse and strive to make it as accurate as humanly possible. Got ideas shot me a email or call 1-801-699-5126 Dirk

Is there a solution for the team name to be properly displayed?
ex:
VOS Racing displays as Vos Racing
SJBC displays as Sjbc
thanks
I've been tellin our racers since early November to change. I'm sure their tired of me nagging them ;).
After circling back with the racers I was able to find two photos taken from the results after the race that showed the correct race team. The disconnect here was how the name was incorrect on the uploaded results.
Todd, I would ask that each of your team memebers update thier profile on SportsBaseOnline. This will provide correct information for riders who register online. Onsite when riders sign in they should check to make sure the right name is given on the release4 form. Your friends at SBO
Hi Todd! Thanks for bringing up a really important point. There are two parts to the solution regarding club name -- USAC licensing and actual race registration.
First, clubs should remind their members to put the correct club name on their annual license. There is always some confusion with this in the new year, especially for riders who renew their USAC license before a club renews its USAC club membership. In addition to club name changes, there are also some USAC clubs that have multiple teams (and are scored separately for NCNCA BAR/BAT). So it's super-important for each club member to have the correct club (and team, if applicable) name associated with their USAC license.
If a rider's club name is incorrect on their license, they can have it corrected by contacting Linda Buffetti at USA Cycling. Her email is lbuffetti@usacycling.org and her phone is 719-866-3295. You can also find this information on the NCNCA website at: http://www.ncnca.org/docs/contact/#usac
There is no charge to change or correct your club name with USAC. However, if a rider would like to re-issue his or her license with the correct club name, there is a $15 re-issue fee.
My second suggestion is that riders should make sure to review and update their profile information in the various on-line registration sites (SBO, BikeReg, etc). This information is typically pulled directly into the registration/results software for a given race.
My third suggestion is to have riders check their club name when they sign the waiver and receive their bib number at each race. Promoters should make manual corrections from the day-of registration (but again, it's best to make those updates in the registration software since we all know how busy the registration folks can be).
If a rider is registering manually on the day of the race, it's their responsibility to list their club/team correctly on the registration form. So I would encourage clubs to remind their riders to use the correct club name.
Regarding results for a specific race (San Bruno), I would suggest you contact the race promoter and/or the Chief Referee for that specific event.
Hope this helps!
