Expert 717![]() ![]() ![]() Washington Court House, Ohio | Subject: USAT Rankings (or lack of)Myself and some other competitors the my area thought it would be fun to see how we were ranked by the USAT. As we near September, the USAT does not have the March, April, May, June, July, or August races loaded from my area (and likely your area too). Is anyone else getting tired of waiting for the rankings?

I believe they do publish final year end rankings, but they also have a search page on their website that allows you to look up results for any race. They intend for it to be up to date but have been unable to load races all year. In mid-July they appologized and guesstimated that by mid-August they would be caught up, but still nothing. Using the tool allows one to compare their ranking event by event.

A technician has been working diligently to solve these problems. Once the program is debugged we will load all formatted races at the rate of 40+ per day. If your races are currently not showing on the search page, please check back in a few weeks. The races should be up by mid-August. Thank you for your patience. |

Not really. I'm not that high in rankings and I usually only check them at the end of the year. |

Expert 957![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Subject: RE: USAT Rankings (or lack of)If you live in the mid-Atlantic region (according to USAT's break-up) and in particular, have raced at least 3 races within the region, you can find out where you stand within the region here http://www.lin-mark.com/new_rank/index.asp (lin-mark is the major timing company in NJ in particular). They do list New England here as well, but they didn't seem to have anything for this year, but I didn't look closely at it. Their scores can vary a bit from the final USAT numbers (they may have a different system), but it will at least give you an idea and also serve as a confirmation of having completed 3 races (though if you race outside of M.A. region, say IMLP, it won't show up here as NY is in New England). |

Master 1686![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Royersford, PA | Subject: RE: USAT Rankings (or lack of)I recently sent a message to USAT on this topic. See Below: Message: The USAT Rankings feature is one of the primary reasons many of us joined USAT. While I understand that you have had computer issues and got behind, but you have had the same message up since July and you don't appear to have made any progress in correcting the issue. This organization has over 100,000 members, that means over $3 million dollars worth of membership fees. How about spending some of that on one of the sevices your rank and file members value? Just because this is an Olympic year does not mean you should neglect the vast majority of your members. Very Respectfully And they send me a prompt reply the next business day: Dear --------, I completely understand your frustration with the rankings this season. We have had some technical issues that prevented us from uploading races to the rankings site. Those issues have been resolved and as of 9/17/08 I have been able to format and upload races. Unfortunately, there are approximately 1600 race, with multiple event types, that need to be uploaded and it is going to take us some time to get caught up. The USAT values all of our members. We are working on a new system that will hopefully prevent this seasons technical issues from occurring in the future. To that extent, we have been working with a new contractor and the new product looks very promising. If there are a few specific race results you are looking for I will be happy to post them if you send me the name and date of the race. Respectfully, So they will eventually get caught up but it took them a bit longer than origianally planned to fix the problem. |

I sent an e-mail asking about missing races and received an almost immediate response and request for a list of the races missing, which I provided. Within an hour one had been posted, the rest were pending RD as per another follow up e-mail from them. Pretty good service! |

Hmm...may have to try that...judging at least from the pull-down menu of races on the Rankings Search interface page, not a single one of my USAT-sanctioned tris from this year are in the system yet. That's at least five races, from mid-April to early this month (I did a sixth race, back in Feb. that I don't think was USAT-sanctioned). |

Expert 717![]() ![]() ![]() Washington Court House, Ohio | Subject: RE: USAT Rankings (or lack of)tri-dg - 2008-10-14 2:47 PM where are you supposed to go to check the rankings? edit: so i found the page and they have one of my races... o but im not in the system because i was a clidesdale You might want to check further. I raced age group the whole year instead of clyde just to make sure that I would get ranked (just for fun, no championship stuff for me). But as I looked at my races I continually see another competitor listed in age group though I know he raced Clyde. I was also told by USAT that they base the rankings on Age regardless of Clyde status within the race. It may be up to the race director to send in your name based on age and maybe the director incorrectly screened out the Clydes. (or something else)
