Hammerlock3 Posted January 5 Posted January 5 How do you do it? "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."
Hammerlock3 Posted January 5 Author Posted January 5 Is Flo really this horrible? @flyingcement thank you this is better than what i was doing. "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

I couldn't locate it myself - it may be there, but I haven't been able to find it. No problem! If I was smarter, I'd create a bookmark for Flo-Arena. I may do so right now

Natty Boh Army Posted January 5 Posted January 5 I hate Flo's UI. In addition to following college, I have several nieces and nephews at the club and high school level, and trying to keep an eye on their matches is extremely frustrating. It also looks like Track has sold everything off to Flo; I wasn't a huge fan of Track, but at least it was functional and trying to find events wasn't akin to the search for the Holy Grail.
MLB9 Posted January 5 Posted January 5 I have yet to figure this out myself. Been trying for years and again today to no avail. Why can’t I like people’s posts this year? Or use the brain thingy? Search for the Holy Grail lol
BigRedFan Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Somehow, I managed to view the brackets in Flo on my laptop, my iPad, and my iPhone for the entire Southern Scuffle. I set up "My Wrestlers" and notifications so I was always aware of upcoming matches in time to view them on whichever platform was convenient, and could quickly see them on the brackets and the Match Schedule. I was also able to watch the matches on my TV using Roku and the Flo app there. It wasn't rocket surgery. (pro tip: open any article related to the tournament in question, and click on the name of the tournament at the top of the article. That will open the page with every available link, including the page with the stick figures and updated scores for all current matches)

Kov88 Posted January 5 Posted January 5 I honestly just google the tournament “brackets” and floarena is usually one of the first search results
Truzzcat Posted January 5 Posted January 5 So I have ran into the issue that some brackets are not on arena, If i search they in the search bar specifically I can find the bracket but its on the main page so then I can not look at the default bracket which would be my preference over the new one. I am the personal property of VakAttack
lu_alum Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Need to use the 'Schedule' link on their main page... You can filter from there. Some filter items are not intuitive. For example, when trying to filter on 'College' and 'PA' to find the Bobby Kauffman Open at Edinboro, the state abbreviation did not work. I had to type 'Pennsylvania'.
Hilton Head Joe Posted January 5 Posted January 5 To my knowledge all the coaches at all levels of wrestling are still uploading their rosters on track. The goal is everything on flo and track disappears. It is not that they can't have everything on flo it is a $ issue with transferring all the tons of data accurately. So that is basically why the huge time gap in getting it done. They shouldn't have bought track.

Hilton Head Joe Posted January 5 Posted January 5 (edited) 35 minutes ago, MPhillips said: They've owned it for years... I know. They wanted to eliminate a competitor but could not handle the workload. Now basically everyone is suffering. It really is a horrible platform. But now they are stuck with all this data and can't get approval $$$ to fix it. Easy fix just will take a contracting team about 6 months to clean it up. When something is this bad it usually always is money issues. every event I go to parents ask me how do you find this or that. It should not be this difficult. I mean floarena looks like something from MSDOS days back in the 1990s! I am surprised they have not even commented on it. Very poor leadership/marketing. Edited January 5 by Hilton Head Joe
RandolphTJones Posted January 5 Posted January 5 I posted this question earlier this season. It's a shame we as fans should have this much trouble finding or following results. The way to follow the "old" track dashboard or Flo Arena live updates are NOT easy. Grow the sport? Make your websites more user friendly for starters. This is sad.
Hilton Head Joe Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Both are hard but I did like track much better minus the videos. Flo was good at videos but data management they are horrible cause that is all IT stuff. Why do I get the feeling they are going to sell to ESPN? There is some other reason why it is so bad and no one is fixing it. Only time and money will tell.

They just had a big migration from Trackwrestling to FLO. As you can imagine, there were issues. To make matters worse, there are some new players in the game too. So, now we get to learn a few more systems! Please welcome USA Bracketing and Bout Boards. Good luck!

Indiana is all in USA Bracketing while Kentucky is still in Track - it's been ..fun.. bouncing between the two every other weekend
