[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think there's any magic happening behind the scenes. Times getting loaded into different places (USA swimming, swimcloud, swimstandards) depends on the meet organizer sending a meet result file. A site like swimmingrank (now gone), for example, used web scraping to some degree, to extract posted meet results.[/quote]

But why would swimstandards have data almost immediately?  Meet mobile?

Swimcloud can take a few days and relies on individuals to send it to them.  USA Swimming gets it from the leagues.[/quote]

swimmingrank didn't scrape websites.  They pulled results files from LSC and team websites but also had many parents and coaches sending them results for LSCs that dont post results. They were around for 12+ years so had a lot of contacts and users

swimstandards and mywimio do it the same way.  Compare their meet results pages on a monday and you'll see they are both pulling similar lsc meet results

Comparing them head to head from this past week, 12/5 to present, swimstandards currently has 63 and myswimio has 77 meet results[/quote]
