Competition & results

Results, personal bests and season bests

Where competition results appear, and the difference between the two “bests”.

Meets shows competition days and the results recorded for your child. Results appear once a coach has entered them, which is usually after the event rather than during it.

Two kinds of best

  • Personal best (PB) — their best ever, across their whole time at the club.
  • Season's best (SB) — their best this season, which resets when a new season starts.
Seasons start at different times depending on the sport — athletics counts by calendar year, football runs from August, cross country from September. So a season's best can reset at a point that looks arbitrary unless you know which sport it belongs to.

A result missing from a leaderboard usually means it has not been entered yet. Give the club a few days after an event before asking.
