Ever wonder what would happen if two teams never seem to face each other went head-to-head? Have a meet coming this weekend and want to see how your team might stack up? Need help deciding what events to put your athletes in during track? Just want to scout the competition? The inspiration for this feature came out of the Florida XC Coaches Clinic in June. So we decided to make it happen. Leveraging the power of our extensive performance database, we now have a feature that allows you to build a virtual meet with whatever teams you like. Choose the teams and parameters you want and then view the results! Here is a great one I just built based on the 2007 cross country season. I put the top ten returning teams regardless of classification in this virtual meet, and excluded graduated seniors. Here is what it looks like! To build your own start here. To make it easy to access this, you'll start to see this "virtual meet" feature linked to in various places on the site.
