Meet Results

Notes on Meet Results, or "Why doesn't my time match the display board?"

During the meet, a number of things can happen to cause a difference between the result on the display board and the Official results. Team Charlotte Swimming receives the Official results via an email with a computer file. Nothing is hand entered. However, there are some meets for which we never receive results. That does not happen often, but it happens. The times used for meet entries come from these Official times. The folks doing the entries for the club are volunteers and with the number of entries, they use the "best time" that comes up automatically in the database. If a swimmer joins from another team, the times will obviously not be in the Team Charlotte Swimming database. Talk to a coach about the meet entry time -- volunteers will take direction on this only from the coaching staff, not parents.
