OK, since you asked...
There are nice-to-have features, of course, but I think you guys have underestimated how bad the Flo experience is in a crowded gym with questionable internet.
It literally doesn't work. As coaches, we spend the whole day struggling to figure out when and where our wrestlers are up, because the site won't load. Thank goodness for the text messages, but when I've got five guys on deck and can't pull up the dashboard to see how soon they're wrestling, I'm flying blind.
I pulled network logs on both sites. Trackwrestling is old-school JSP in frames, and it loads about half a megabyte of its own JavaScript. Flo's new site loads about 14 MB of (uncompressed) JavaScript for an event page. That's roughly 28 times more. It might not seem like much on a laptop with fiber, but on a phone in a packed rural gym, it's the reason the page never finishes loading.
Both sites also have way too many ads. I counted about 500 requests to 120-150 different domains on a single page load, which is five times or more what most sites shoot for. Every one of those is fighting over the same weak connection in that gym.
On the page I was looking at (our state tournament), Flo also has a caching problem that should be an easy fix. Your JavaScript files have versioned file names, but they're served with a 10-second cache lifetime. So every time I open the page, my phone re-checks all 136 files with the server instead of just using what it already has. Marking those files as long-lived and immutable at the CDN would take care of that. The HTML page itself also isn't being compressed.
I don't have access to your code, and all of this came from about ten minutes in the browser's network tab. After a five-year transition, I'd really encourage the team to test on a throttled phone connection with a cold cache, because that's what we're dealing with every weekend.
Honestly, we just want it to work. I think we can all forgive UI/UX issues and features (although I'm sure you could get a nice big list if you asked) if it just works 99% of the time.
This program changed lives.
Our spokesperson Nolan Kistler, a three time NCAA Division II All American at CBU, is sharing why he’s fighting to bring wrestling back.
CBU was the only D1 wrestling program in Southern California. Its elimination cuts off a pathway for the next generation.

🤯The Best Larry Bird "ALPHA MALE ROOKIE" Story Ever Told..
How A Rookie Larry Bird Established Himself As The Alpha Male On A Team Full Of Veterans From Day 1!
John Harbaugh says every team fights 4 silent forces - every single day.
He and his brother named them years ago.
You won't always see them - but they shape your culture and define your team.
Here are the 4 hidden threats every organization faces:🧵
California will be bankrupt by 2030.
If you’re expecting a state pension, it is at risk.
If you don’t believe it, check Grok or Gemini and explore how California politicians changed the reporting rules on your pension so they could hide how underwater it is.
The middle class citizens of California will soon be asked to pay a huge price to bail out the state.
Why them?
Because that is where most of the wealth of California resides. It’s easy to single out “billionaires” but there aren’t many of them and they can and will all leave before the bottom falls out. They are leaving in droves already.
The mismanagement in California is biblical - and the scale is huge because it’s the world’s 4th largest economy.
California politicians and their henchmen are now entering the coverup phase where they can no longer hide their financial incompetence so they are taking from average California residents to try and hide what they’ve done:
You will soon see ballot initiatives with fancy tiles like “billionaire tax”. But those are lies. They are mechanisms to tax everything, every way:
Excise taxes
Wealth taxes
Private property confiscation
It’s all happening now.
If you want to preserve California, you will need to stand up because California has become a kleptocracy.
