GSE v Third Party Team & Meet Managers

There are some very good third party utilities out there. Mile Split and Athletic.net come to mind. They definitely serve a purpose and do what they do very well. We offer many of the same or similar services with our in-house product and we strive to do a better job at it every year.

Whether we are as good at what we do as others is not our concern. Our concern is to be as good as we can be at what we do and make sure that our service offerings are as user friendly as any other. There are two things you can always expect from GSE Timing:

1. We will be better every year.
2. We strive to make our product as efficient, informative, and easy to use as any other.

We started our journey before many of these entities got any kind of foothold and we just don't want to kick ourselves to the curb unless we feel there is no market for what we provide. If we get "left behind" as schools, conferences, and entire states move to exclusive use of national entities, then we will quietly go into that dark night. But it would be a shame in a sport as individual as cross-country running is to see universal conformity rule the day.

2023 was not our best year. We stubbed our toe a couple of times. This was the result of our final technology rewrite and sub par performance of some GSE staff. We generally have very good people but even good people make mistakes, myself included. Our promise to you? See #1 above.

Quick note on our 2024 schedule. It will be first come, first served so please reserve your spot ASAP you would like to enlist our services for 2024.

Tune in again next July for a preview of our 2024 upgrades and enhancements.
