Recalculating Personal Best's
Personal Best results will be calculated whenever you press Save Changes in results entry mode, or if you upload from RaceHQ or another source. This will compare the result entered versus previous results, and if better than the previous best result then a PB will be triggered.
There will be times when you will need to recalculate PBs for certain dates, as you may have gone into past dates and updated results. Within the Results entry area, press Recalculate PB’s – this process may run for 10 to 30 seconds and will display text at the top of the form that PBs have been calculated successfully when it is finished.
Please note: The PB recalculation is for this one date only. You must then recalculate every date which may be affected.
