The Tour De Krantz is a ROAG administered event. Please note that to take part, you have to be a valid ROAG member and possess a valid ROAG number (this is free).Login to your ROAG Membership or Register if you need to create a new ROAG number. Entries NOW OPEN. Enter online with ROAG. LATE ENTRIES (after 17 August, 2011) will cost R30.00 extra (except for the 10km race) WHAT IS ROAG?? ROAG is very simply an event administration system. That is it! Nothing more sinister than that. A group of event organizers got together and decided to share information and resources in an effort to make administration more efficient and cut costs by pooling resources and increasing buying power. The group has agreed to share this information and buying power with any (not just cycling) event organizer that is prepared to agree to use the ROAG system in accordance with the intentions of the founder members. All we are saying to competitors is that we need your information BEFORE you arrive at the event. In order to provide this, we ask competitors to please register their information on the ROAG website – AT NO COST TO THEM. This way we know who they are and have their correct information before they arrive at the event. This eliminates manual entry forms, capturing data manually, mistakes in prize giving and results, etc etc. If they are not prepared to provide their information before the event, then they cannot expect somebody, at their own cost and time, to sit late into the night capturing data so that Joe Bloggs can get his pictures posted to him. These competitors will be welcome to do the event at the same cost as other late entries, however they will not receive a number board and will not be given a time. WHAT IS "CLUB ROAG"??CLUB ROAG is a sports or social "club" like any other club in the world (NO – not night clubs!!). CLUB ROAG will be registered and affiliated to various sporting bodies in order to provide members the opportunity to be registered with that sporting body and so participate in that sport. The only difference is that the annual affiliation fee to CLUB ROAG is ZERO – free. Do you have to register with ROAG in order to belong to CLUB ROAG?? YES. Remember, ROAG is an administration system and does the administration for CLUB ROAG. So just like any other club where you fill in paperwork and give it to the secretary for her to process your application, the same happens here. Except there is no secretary, you are filling in your own paperwork on the website, and the website automatically gives you your membership number to the CLUB. If you register with ROAG do you HAVE to join CLUB ROAG?? NO. Joining CLUB ROAG is completely voluntary. You are welcome to join any club in the world, that is entirely your decision. SO WHY MUST I REGISTER WITH ROAG THEN??Because if you want to be timed at an event that is using the ROAG administration system, you need a ROAG number. Without this number – you will get NO time, or any other data supported backup (photos, batches etc). ROAG will be used at Karkloof Classic, Illovo Eston MTB Challenge, Hill2hill, Juicy Lucy Classic, and at least 8 other events throughout the year. In order to participate in any of these events, you must have a ROAG number.
