2010 COMRADES MARATHON - 2000 EXTRA ENTRIES WILL BE ALLOWED
But only at Mr Price stores on Saturday, 30 January 2010

 

COMRADE MARATHON Board has decided to reopen entries for a limited number of 2,000 additional entries only. Entries will open on Saturday, 30 January 2010 and will ONLY be accepted at Mr Price Stores countrywide. Entries will close as soon as 2,000 entries have been received.  

In order to work on a fair “first come first serve” basis, NO FAX, POSTAL OR ONLINE ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED. Entries will also not be taken at Comrades House in Pietermaritzburg. The CMA therefore appeals to those runners who still wish to enter for the 2010 Comrades Marathon, to make sure that they are at a Mr Price early on Saturday, 30 January 2010.

Qualifying period for 2010 will be as follows: 24 May 2009 to 26 April 2010.

 

Runners who finished the 2009 Comrades Marathon can use their finishing time as a qualifier for 2010. As in 2009, runners will be able to enter before they qualify. This means while all entries will have to meet the entry criteria above, runners will still be allowed to qualify in official qualifying races up until the month of April 2010, with the 26th April 2010 as the final cut-off date. Upon qualification, runners simply need to submit the time and details of the qualifying race through to the CMA office. Upon receiving the qualifying information the runner’s entry will be confirmed.

 

Licenses for 2010 (for South African athletes only)

With the new opening and closing dates of entries for Comrades 2010, athletes will not be in possession of their 2010 licenses by the time of entry, however athletes will still have to comply with the rule that they must be licensed through an officially registered athletics club affiliated to Athletics South Africa in order to run the 2010 Comrades Marathon. As with the new qualifying criteria, you will be able to enter for Comrades 2010 before having received your 2010 license. You will however have to submit your club name and license number to the CMA before or by the 26th April. Failure to submit these details will result in your entry being rejected. Please note that the CMA will verify your license details with your club.

 

Thanks

Hi

By now I think anyone who wanted to make corrections would have done so.

The first walking league logs as per the new format. Quite a bit more work involved in doing it in this format, so please if you have the time, check my calcs.

God Bless

NEW 2010 AGN WALKING LEAGUE POINTS
(32 KB MS EXCEL)

 

 

Hi

Oopsie ... I blew the 21km calculations. My thanks to Leon Marais, Overkruin for highlighting that something didn't seem right. Turned out that I had used the 20km tables instead of the 21km tables and this had quite an impact especially in Divisions 2 and 3. My humble apologies for any inconvenience I may have caused.

IMPORTANT -  The McCarthy Toyota 10km / 21km this coming Saturday, Feb 6th is a league race. The number of licences bought by each club from Agn as at the end of Jan 2010 will be used to calculate the number of handicap points per club for this league race. I have received these stats from Agn and added them to the attached Rev A. They are in column B, highlighted in blue, titled 'Jan'. Please check these figures because I noticed a number of clubs had not purchased any licences as at the end of Jan. This means that no league points can be scored by them.

Another point I must highlight is that if you purchased less that 35 licences, the 'Jan' column will reflect 35 which is the default number of licences bought that is used in the handicap calculation.

God Bless
Ken

Hi

League race organisers please take note ... below is a comment from Haffie who sent the Ace 10km results through to me.

N.B: There was no column for “ages”, only a column for “category”
“Category” could have meant:
-          WALK or RUN
-          MALE or FEMALE
-          VET, MASTER, GRANDMASTER . etc
This is some of the information that was filled in on the stickers.

An example of the 21km results as received by me from Chamberlains:

1064 K HLATSHWAYO RESBANK AGN F 02:58:20
1065 B JARMEY-SWAN NATAL CARBINEERS KZN     G M      M 02:58:21
1066 G FOURIE FIT 2000 AGN     V M 02:58:45
1067 M VAN DYK IRENE AGN     G M      F 02:59:16
1068 J JORDAAN MAGNOLIA AGN     G GM     M 02:59:52
1069 P MILLS TEMP   M 02:59:55
1070 P VISAGIE TRANSNET AGN     G M      M 03:01:00

From the partial results that are attached you will see that 'Prov' is still a major problem. Gauteng / Gaut / GP / G and nothing filled in the 'Prov' column will result in that athlete being deleted from the league calculation unless you email me to the effect that the athlete is from Agn. This ruling applies to all Agn club athletes and not to just some who happen to belong to clubs who have sister clubs in other provinces.

Unless corrected the following defaults for league points will apply.
No age ... default senior
No sex ... default male
Prov ... Gauteng, Gaut, GP, G or blank ... delete from league calculation
Unless there is some form of standardisation with the entry slip / form, I dont think we can blame the athletes for being confused. Three months before a league race I send out the following list of minimum requirements to the organising club but I somehow don't think that it always reaches the race organising committee.

Please ensure that your set of results comply with the following minimum requirements:
 
  1. Excel spreadsheet
  2. Initials and name
  3. Club
  4. Age    (the league does not have sub vets or juniors, also some athletes are entering the wrong age category)
  5. Province        (several of the Agn clubs have sister clubs in other provinces. Eg Fit 2000, Harmony, Run and Walk for Life … )
  6. If your race is also a Race Walking League Race then a separate set of results for the walkers or alternatively a separate column is required to indicate whether the athlete entered to “R” or “W”
  7. Time in the following format          “format”   “cells”   “custom”   “hh:mm:ss”

Just a suggestion from me ... League race organisers please look at the design of your entry form / slip. If you can have a tick block for 'Run' and another tick block for 'Walk', is it not possible to do the same for "prov" ... tick block for 'Agn' another for 'Cga' and another tick block for 'Other'. The reason I've suggested 3 tick blocks is that there is always a large number of Cga athletes who enter our races and there is always some who enter their province as Agn, so 3 tick blocks will hopefully eliminate an area of potential confusion for Gauteng athletes.

 


God Bless
Ken
