Why does it take so long to update Mylaps?

Recommended Posts

Here is just a sampling of why it can take a while to post:

Results under protest

Results under review by Race Director

Results subject to Executive appeal

Tech Issues

Timing and Scoring staff are SWAMPED with 11 race groups and back to back sessions all day

Results from both days used to determine the grids for the championship races and it takes time

It is far easier to post them en mass than one at a time as a person has to dedicate time to doing this and nothing else. I'm sure as in past years the staff is busy and doing their best.

 

How is that for a slightly smart ass but truthful and to the point answer?

prelim if noted as such will work just fine - there are a TON of us that can't make it to OH but want to cheer for the people from our region that are there!!

To upload to mylaps is a couple clicks. Easy to do after a session. But they do need to be certified.

 

That being said- Friday results are up on the NASA championship website but not mylaps.

Results are uploaded pretty much after each session by T&S (unless the RD says don't post). Now if they are displayed on mylaps or not is a crap shoot. Sometimes they show, sometimes they don't. Kind of like not being able to see TT classes in the merges. Kind of like positions in classes being shown as 65532, 65533, 65534, 65535..... Kind of like looking at results and it's showing in Swedish.

 

If you haven't figured it out yet, Mylaps is not controlled by NASA (or by SCCA, PCA, Nascar, etc). We do our best on our end, but if we can't control what happens on mylaps, end of story. Same with Race Monitor. We push valid data there and if it's not displayed correctly or to your particular liking, not much we can do about it.

 

I am still waiting for the people who bitched about mylaps results from last year to actually show up at the event and show us how it's done.... Since all the complainers continue to stay at home versus coming and helping, we will probably just stop using mylaps results page at the Championships as all it does is cause people to complain. I'd rather just tell you to wait till results are final, posted to the NasaChampionships site.

 

 

So.. no, it's not as easy as a few mouse clicks.
