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 Feed Tabs

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'.

Let us know what you think.
