Live Results - Big Fish Software

Big Fish Software

Genre: Sports
Price: $0.99
Release Date: August 13, 2009

This application is designed to easily navigate Web results that are produced by the Hy-Tek and SportSystems Meet Manager software (SportSystems software is primarily used by British Swimming).

The Meet Manager software is used by host teams for swimming and track & field meets to record results and produce reports. One of the nice features of the Meet Manager software is that it can produce a Live Results website with the click of a button. To see what “Live Results” look like in a web browser, use your favorite search engine to look for “Hy-Tek Live Results” or try the following link:

If you navigate to a Live Results website on your iPhone through a browser, you will see how difficult it is to navigate the results. This App provides easy navigation of the data displayed in the web browser. In addition to making it easier to navigate results, there is also a feature to switch to a filtered view so you only see your results or your teammates.

Although a large number of host teams use the Meet Manager software to manage their swimming and track & field meets, not all publish Live Results. You will usually find Live Results for larger and championship type meets. The host team will usually put a “Live Results” link on their meet information web page when they will be providing this information.

If the host team publishes the start lists, you may be able to see heat and lane assignments. This is generally done after scratches, so it would not be available until just before the start of a session (if the host chooses to do this).

It is my goal to provide a useful tool for swimmers, coaches, parents, grandparents, friends… anyone who wants to track meet results, but does not have access to a computer.

Please keep in mind that this app can only display results that have been posted to the internet. It is up to the meet personnel to update the results after the event is completed. Some meets are better than others doing this.
