USAT ranking seems to be up

Looks like they must have gotten their new s/w going, since I have seen 2 races added for me in 2 days.
BUT, it looks like they might have a bug. The ranking is supposed to be the average of your 3 best races.
Mine shows the average of all 4 I have entered. I wrote them a note, will see if I did something wrong.
Anyone else have more than 3 races entered to see if your average is based on your top 3 races,
or all that are entered.

Yes, one extra large with lots of butter please…

Mine still only has one race, as it did last year. one race only.

Oh, thank GOD!!! I have been waiting ALL YEAR for this happy blessed day!!!

Oh wait, I only have 1 race counted. Oh well, for right now I am kicking GORDO BYRN’s ASS!!! :wink:

Wonder if Harriman gets counted as a tri, or a du? Just found out - it’s my only race counted so far, as a tri.
I guess Timberman and Toughman don’t rate?

Mine is also an average of ALL 5 races not just the top 3…

Frickin’ Tim O’Donnell. I hate that guy. BUT, I still have one more race I can do to supplant him. It’s only 105.4717 to 104.0889. Now, all I need to do is figure out what placing gets me those oh-so-precious 1.3829 points that I need so that I can take over the world!!! And what is this? I see North American IMs count. Well, Timmy my boy, we’ll see who’s on top after IMAZ, the third arrow in my quiver!

They still have not listed any races for me this year, could it be a that they just do not like me??? At least you got your average, even if it is wrong…(-;

Whos got that popcorn?

My results still have not been updated.

that whole post (title included) should have been in pink.

Although “it’s not their fault…it’s the race director’s fault for being incompetent not providing data fast enough or in the proper format”!!!

That’s probably why the data from USAT nationals isn’t up yet, 2 months after the race!!!

hilarious. I love these threads.

usat sucks.

I don’t really want ot bash USAT, but they are so slow on their results. They still have not gotten the Steelhead results in. Perhaps it will be likke last year and they will not have those rankings until the week of the final results???

They have the first 5 races I did posted (only through July) and averaged them all.

Cool, looks like I found a bug.

Wonder why so many folks waste energy posting so much negative on a thread. Yep, we know what you think of USAT!!
But, for some of us, we like the data. Some of us also like to work with groups to help improve things. This might be USAT or
with a specific race RD. Just complaining never gets improvements.

Since it looks like USAT changed the data base again, they had not put any races in for months. Will take them a while to catch up.

Just talked to USAT. They know they have an issue. They have multiple folks working on entering races.
My input was to turn it off until they fix it since the numbers mean nothing now.

or later…

Too bad about your DNF at Du Nationals. Your AmZof points are going to be HUGE! Any other USAT dus this year? If not, race me this Sunday.

No other Du’s, period. I really should get out Sunday, just to get the 2nd race in so I can get some USAT Du-love this year too.

Looks like PERFECT weather for it - high 30’s and rain. Lovely.

Looks like it’s all bungled up. When I search for my number I get nothing. When I search for my last name I get one (of three), and it has me listed in the wrong age group and with no overall score. Whatever.

I willl say, most of us do not like to complain, but most of us have not contributed dollars to a system that suchs so bad. I do not know your affiliathin but if you were a true patorn I guarantee you wuold not be on the defnesive. I rarely complain because we operate on the graces of many good volunter, but their sevices suck year after year and they charge for it! Let us not get into the insurance that supposedly they cover.

But didn’t you start this thread by saying USAT calculated your ranking incorrectly?

Not sure how you could have thought it would turn into one where people praise their ranking system.
