Displaying LiveTiming.com/limitations

It's great that this athlete finds Live-Timing.com more important than a watch. I'm sorry he missed his start.
I'm also sorry the web site has been a little bogged down lately, especially on the weekends with as many as 50 races in a day! We're working on finding the holdups with the system and optimizing database queries to manage the load, with the hopes of getting the massive number of users all the data they need.
Just as an FYI, here are some fun numbers:
The database server processes up to 10,000 queries per second

The numbers for January blew away any month last season:
Number of races : 420 (last Jan 272)
Number of visits : 102,000 (last Jan 44,000)
Number of page views : over 2.4 million (last Jan 1 million)
Number of hits : 13.6 million (a basically useless but impressive number)

So, continue to enjoy Live-Timing and we'll try to keep up.

Oh, and don't forget to be at the start on time....

Geoff,

Without a doubt this has been one of the most well received additions to ski racing since the software was written. I find that at FIS events, at least 85% of coaches are watching on a pda or Blackberry.

The TD was less than impressed with the excuse, but the competitor was allowed to start and he was not DQ'd.
