Official 2015 Pre-Nats Discussion Thread - King Ches hast just lost to Thomas Curtin!!

Idk, maybe cause it said live results in huge font on the front page. I can't find full results in a nice document anywhere and the race had been done for quite some time. Only some cell phone pics.

Like another guy said, Flotrack isn't timing this meet. Why aren't you yelling at the people actually responsible for the timing?

Because they are hosting the results and touting on the front page of their site "Live results". Far from it.

You'd think somebody at the meet would simply take a picture of all of the pages and tweet them out. It takes 5 seconds. Instead people have just tweeted like hafl the resutls.

LINK to Live results for various races (finally) showing at http://results.flotrack.org/2015/10-17-PreNats/Web/Timetable.php?D=1 ; however, they get stuck with "Loading" message for me. Hopefully will load soon.

You are confusing the words "live" and "immediate". You're also just being too picky. What is the difference between a pic of the results and a nice document of the results?

So why didn't you guys post them within 5 seconds? Like I told the other guy, you are confusing live and immediate.

We've compiled the results here:

No, you are confusing them. When I watch live tv, I see that shit AS IT HAPPENS. So live results should be provided AS THEY HAPPEN.

Nope, you are confusing "as it happens" and "immediate" and "live". Flotrack is not operating the timing of this meet, so they can only publish an electronic version of the results when it exists. If Flotrack publishes such results as soon as they exist then they have indeed published them "as they happen". That usually but not necessarily coincides with the period of time "immediately" after the race finishes (when the timing company is competent).

Your problem is with the English language and with the timing company not Flotrack.

Okay results were slow. I'm more interested in how the race played out. Did the Kenyans just think that some crazy white man was going out too fast and was going to come back to them? I love strategic plans. I just wish he would have waited until nationals to execute the strategy.

I don't have a problem with anyone but you. I couldnt care less about this meet, but you are defending someone who misled their audience.

Live tweeting = tweeting as it happens

Live tv = broadcasting event as it happens

Live radio = broadcasting as it happens

Live results = ?????

Don't say live results then... It's misleading as others have said.

And didn't other teams tweet most of the results before flotrack did? So.

There has been a revolution. The monarchy of King Chez has been overthrown and the Iron Curtin as been instated.

Good. Ches needed a loss. Maybe this will be a kick in the ass to get him to actually perform at the level he is at currently and not sit and kick on runners with far less fitness and age than him!

grampa ches don't always feel great. sometimes his rheumatism and arthritis acts up, or he forgets to take his Geritol.

WTF, Flotrack? Is your shitty results just a ploy to get more people to subscribe to your website for the live stream?

Anyone have full team scores yet? Robert Johnson's tweet only has individuals...

Dude there was no live stream. Calm down.

I liked xc better - hell running better - when we barely knew the results. Back when I was in school, we'd all sit around the fax machine and wait for Walt Murphy's report to come out on Tuesday. It would have the team resutls and maybe top 20 results.

Just because it used to be that way doesn't mean we should like it.

Can you imagine if no one knew Sunday football scores until the Monday paper?

Women through 3000:

1 Oregon 79

2 Stanford 172

3 Michigan 201

4 Colorado 216

Final:

1 Michigan 131 (+70)

2 Colorado 151 (+65)

3 Oregon 175 (-96)

4 Stanford 244 (-72)

Yes, this is a shameless attempt to discuss the actual races.

No, you clearly do have a problem with Flotrack today or you wouldn't be complaining about them. You also clearly have a problem with the English language: if the electronic results have not happened, then how is Flotrack supposed to post them "as it happens"???

This is my second time explaining this to you. Reread it before you respond this time.
