Regatta Master and RegattaCentral Team Up at Head of the Charles


By: regattamaster

Regatta Master and RegattaCentral worked in tandem at the 48th Head of the Charles this past weekend, the culmination of months of preparation and system modifications.

RegattaCentral was used for registration for the first time at HOCR, as well as volunteer registration and management.  In addition to timing and results, Regatta Master provided new functionality for managing entry qualification and the bow draw in the weeks preceding the regatta.

First seen at the Head of the Rock the week before, RegattaCentral's new iPhone application presented results and streaming times from the Regatta Master Reporting Service. 

 

Reporting Service Slow at Head of the Charles


By: regattamaster

The Regatta Master Reporting Service web application was again hit hard at times during the 48th Head of the Charles, with hits peaking at 1Million/hour on Saturday.  Despite additional servers and caching, the dynamic pages were very slow to load at times.  On the Charles, this was compounded by the fact that all cell phone and many internet providers were saturated at those times.

Our ISP, Skycomp Solutions, in Ontario, Canada, was on site and made changes to the server configuration on Saturday evening, which helped a great deal on Sunday but was still not enough to handle the tremendous demand during the eights races on Sunday afternoon.

We are working to modify the real-time reporting screens, so that we can deliver the functionality and features designed into the application with satisfactory performance under extreme load conditions.
