Virtual Meets

Page last modified 20:34, 25 Aug 2009 by nazarova | Page History

The 2009 season is over.
Please visit Meet Result page to see the results.


This is a simulation of a scheduled meet based on the most recent swims of the teams involved. Simulations will be updated when the teams involved have new meets.

This is based on the most recent swims in the events, not season-best times.

This simulation is not based on the coach's submissions of who will swim in particular events in this upcoming meet. It is likely that the swimmers in some events will not be the same as in this virtual meet.

You can click on any swimmer's name to see all recorded times by that swimmer provided by the league for additional insight on likely performance.

Neat, but not very useful, as it does not keep track of season's best times, nor even have full line ups. Needs a little tweeking.

Could you possibly use season best times instead of last week's results? Due to Potomac Valley swim meets, a lot of really fast swimmers are missing from line ups, severely effecting the divisional "simulation".

Fun to look at especially if you are a Dolphin.
GO DAMASCUS!!

Thank you so much for creating this wonderful site. Swimming in this area has always been strong but no one really knew how strong. I swam MCSL for 14 seasons and my daughter is now in her 4th season.

One thing about the virtual divisionals for MCSL. Only 2 swimmers or 1 relay from each team are allowed in each event. Other than that, keep up the great work!!

I hope that this will continue to highlight swimming in the years to come. Any chance of getting the NVSL information loaded also so all the swimmers can compare times?

Thanks for all of your thoughts.

We're hoping to include NVSL and Old Dominion Swim League and others as we go forward. I definitely agree that the more leagues are included, the more fun it is to see the best swims.

As to which swimmers to include in a meet, the simulation has to guess which swimmers the coach will put in which events. The best way to do that is to use the previous week. Unfortunately, when something like the big PVS meet knocks swimmers out of week 5, the simulation suffers.

As the person who wrote the simulation, I decided to use the most recent swims rather than season best times because a decade of watching my kids' swim meets have made me very skeptical of best times posted in June that are never approached again all season. I find the most recent swim a better predictor of performance than something swum a month ago. So I say if you want your best time used, swim it. edited 21:04, 23 Jul 2009
