RANKING TYPES -Event Rank: determined based on a swimmer’s best time in an event -Stroke Rank: determined based on a swimmer’s best time in all events of a specific stroke -Overall Rank: determined based on a swimmer’s best time in all events RANKING STRUCTURE The ranking system works very similar to popular competitive, online video games.

After results files are processed, all times are stored automatically in swimmer’s profiles. -Manual Entry: SwimWarrior makes it easy to manually add times on the web and mobile app with a great user experience.
