Our results page ranks swimmers based on their best time in the meet, regardless of whether it was achieved in prelims, finals, or lead-off times in relays. We use standard age groups to separate the meet results, such as 8 & under, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16, and 17-18, which may not always align with the specific age groupings used by the meet organizers.

Great news! We've just rolled out the updated time standards for the PVS 2024 14 & Under Championships, formerly known as Junior Olympic (JO). Get ready for an exhilarating competition!

Here's the lowdown on the changes:
Upon comparing the 2024 time standards with 2023, some Girls' events now have more relaxed qualifying times, while a few Boys' events feature tighter standards.

So I know this is probably out of scope, but one thing which I would be interested in being able to see is over the past years, what clubs were at the same meets. For example DCWave and FAST - for what meets were they both in attendance? Sometimes we have friends on other teams and want to know when we will see them. Obviously past meets are no guarantees of future meets but if they’ve met at the same meet 6 years running they’ll probably see each other again. Just a thought.

The selection box is a little clunky in that you pick SCY / LCM
separately which is fine, but if you're on, say, 25 free, LCM is
greyed out, so you have to pick 50 fly first and then you can change
it to LCM. Just a little non intuitive if you don't know what they
are in real life. if you have LCM selected, 100IM isnt greyed out
(but should be, this event can't be run in LCM). Same with 25s.

We considered allowing users to select any combination, but this could lead to no results due to unrecognized or invalid age group events, such as the 50Fly for 13 & above and 100 IM LCM. To assist users in making the correct choices, we implemented a feature to grey out invalid events.

The logic behind this feature is complex, which led to the bugs you encountered. We have addressed these issues, but please don't hesitate to report any further problems.

For your reference, you can find a list of USA recognized Age Group Events here: Link

It would be interesting to see a league-wide points ranking, with the
ability to filter it by age/gender/division. For example, show me all
the 8U girls in division M, ranked by points. Not sure if anyone's
asking for it, just another data point to play with.

If you go here:
https://swimstandards.com/summer-swimmer/mabel-allender
and then choose ' 2022 individual all star' from the meet drop down
and then click on the time presented for 25BR
it takes you to event 32 girls 9-10 breaststroke, but it should take
you to event 30 girls 8 breaststroke.

This should be fixed now.
FYI:
The Individual All-Star Event Order mirrors that of the Dual Meet, except for the absence of Relay events. Consequently, the All-Star Event order is not continuous, requiring the implementation of logic to ensure the correct accordion panel is opened.

An interesting observation is the change that occurred after the year 2021. Prior to 2021, the Boys and Girls 18U 200M Medley events were swum as Event #3 and Event #4, respectively. However, as of 2021, these two events have been relocated to the second half of the meet, specifically as Event #27 and Event #28, respectively.

go to
https://swimstandards.com/summer-leagues/mcsl/arora-hills
and change the drop down to 2022 (meets and swimmers change at the
same time, a little unexpected) but the thing I was wanting to point
out here was actually "Data is not avaiable yet!"
(mis-spelling of available, and also probably needs to say something
different in this case)

The typo has been fixed. But we still keep the Season Dropdowns with Synchronized Changes. Will make a change when more people vote "No".

Looks like you weren’t able to find this swimmers summer / year round linkage

https://swimstandards.com/summer-swimmer/leo-farber

https://swimstandards.com/swimmer/leo-farber-1
https://swimstandards.com/swimmer/leo-farber

But then I also see the two records for year round so maybe that is messing you up?

And

start here:
https://swimstandards.com/swimmer/giselle-quach
and click on 'switch to GER profile' and you end up at the ARH profile.

Looks like this particular swimmer was on CKBG in 2021, GER in 2022
and ARH in 2023. Maybe there's some MCSL recruiting going on....but I
think ARH is new as there's no 2022 data for it.

Despite our extensive efforts to resolve issues, linking year-round and summer swimmers remains a challenging task due to duplications and team changes. It's not surprising that there are still many linkage issues. If you come across any, please report them.

If you go here:

https://swimstandards.com/rankings

and try to pick a different LSC I'm not able to figure out what order
they're in. I see the zones at top, which is fine, but then maybe you
even want to have Eastern Zone, and then with a - underneath it -PV,
-MD, -ME etc, and then 'reset' to just SZ and have -NC, -NT etc. I'm
not sure if people looking for their LSC will already know their zone
or not, so I don't know if it makes more sense after the zones to just
have them all in alphabetical order, or have them in alphabetical
order "within" each zone.

The LSCs in the dropdown menu have been rearranged in alphabetical order after the zones. While grouping remains a challenge and hasn't been implemented yet, you can always perform a partial search using the LSC name or code to quickly locate your desired option.
