AnotherPB Frequently Asked Questions

Under Construction

Q: Why should I need to use AnotherPB when there's a National Database of results?
A:  AnotherPB does not replace the National Database. The National Database provides links to on-line entries and is part of the overall process required to administer swimming activities. Swimmers are required to use the National Database of swims if they are to enter carnivals and the like. Its data structures however do not allow analysis, trending and graphics designed to turn data into information. That's where AnotherPB is different. AnotherPB is designed and constructed with the ability to 'slice and dice' the data into information. AnotherPB provides a service that is complimentary to the National Database process.
Q: How do you decide which meets to include in AnotherPB.com?
A:  Initially, we want to ensure that we cover all meets from area/region/district and above (i.e. area/district/region, state and national). However, our vision is to include all swim meets no matter where swum.
Q: Why does my swimmer show up 2 or more times in the selection window??
A:  This is due to the fact that your swimmer is listed more than once in the database. This is normally caused by data errors in Team Manager ID's and in turn caused by incorrect or inconsistent names or errors in dates of birth. Once found these can are easily corrected. Please send us a message via the contact us link below if you find this is the case for any of your swimmers.
