Pre registration process

[john jackson]

From PBP Facebook link on PBP homepage:-

We are now at the middle of the preregistration process and 50% of the available places are still available. Some of you worries about the available places for riders who weren't able to complete a BRM last year. We are confident to have enough places for every rider who wants to enter PBP 2015.

So the point of pre-registration is only to acquire the start time you want, rather than guarantee you will get a place.

Well, my reading of it is that I've got my place, subject to getting the qualifiers completed and listed on the registration site, and full payment made.  I must do that between 31/05/2015 and 23/06/2015.  After that I lose my place and it becomes available in a free-for-all before entries close 14/07/2015

No: because they are only "confident", not "certain'. They cannot know how many applicants there will be come June (although I would want long odds to bet against their prediction!)

My understanding too - if you've pre-registered, you have a place

I've started the registration process but I get "homologation number unknown"

It's ACP brevet 14-963 from July last year and is a 200k.

Any ideas please?

just looked you up - 14-963 is the auk event code and, unfortunately, that event was not brm, so can not be used for PBP pre-registration.

OK - thanks 

I'll just have to wait.

Anyone tried to change their pre reg start time? I have been trying this week and I complete all the details but when I hit change I get an error message telling me that I need to indicate my federation, if I try to select this option the drop down box in the federation section it does not seem to work or show any options. I have tried 3 different browsers and different machines but still no luck, anyone had a similar problem?
