Data Feed options
We are getting further along with the Data Feed tab info and like where it is going. More types of info have been entered. Two new sections will show the average 5K time for each team's top 5 runners at Bethpage.
What other types of data would be good to place in that section?
We also plan to have an options settings to control what info appears on your home page when you are logged in.

Team Performance Grids
Team Performance Grids are now available on the home page. They are summaries of all individual performances for a team during the season . These grids are automatically generated by the system into spreadsheets that can be printed and saved. They can be printed at any point in the season and will be show all of the performances to-date.
To start, these grids are available for the current season. We are now working on speeding up the time it takes for them to appear, and then they will be available for other seasons.
Let us know what you think. Are they worthwhile? Any suggestions?

Favorites Tabs
We are also experimenting with new 'Favorites Tabs. Visitors who register in the system will be able to set individual athletes and teams as 'favorites'. Results and data items for these favorites will appear in the Tabs on the home page.

Data Feeds
New Data Feed Tabs are being tested on the site. They will allow you to see updated news items about recent noteworthy performances before you search through the meet results.
We are just starting to experiment with the types of news items being shown. We will use the feedback we get to add or eliminate different types of news.
We also plan to add an 'options' setting that will let you select the types of news to show such as 'recent significant results', 'rankings', 'recent meets entered into the system'.

Admin Tool for Coaches to enter performances
A new admin tool is ready that will allow coaches to enter results from invitationals directly into the web system. This will let coaches keep the system up to date for all athletes - not just the elite athletes who are entered automatically by the league.
We are hoping that all coaches will participate or designate a responsible person on their team as a manager who can enter results.
The system is ready to start testing now and we are looking for an initial group of coaches who can start testing the system.

Getting ready for XC 2008
We are getting the site ready for the new year. Cross Country 2008 will be ready for the first meet of the year - the Wheately Invitational.
New additions to the site will start with an entry system that coaches can use to enter performances on their own. The league will try to enter any top 50 performances in invitationals, but are asking coaches to fill in the remainder of the results. Coaches will be able to log in with a username and password to enter the data.
Also, coaches will be able to enter team schedules into the system. This will be available online for athletes, parents and fans. Directions to events will be available online and linked to the schedule. With these schedules in place, the system will let us see which schools are at which events.
