Mastersrankings.com on more solid ground; Seto posts survey

John's site has more than 1,000 paid users.

John’s site has more than 1,000 paid users.

Fourteen months ago, I rattled folks with the headline “Future of mastersrankings.com in doubt — with funding an issue.” Now it appears the partial paywall is working. “Contributions since memberships have started have enabled the site to continue by paying most of the recent and some of the deferred operating costs,” says operator John Seto. Of 2,365 registered users, 1,039 have paid at least $25 for annual memberships, he says. But in seeking to improve the site, John has posted a survey. “People do not need to be registered to take the survey or access most of the site,” he says. “Registrations make it easier to submit performances, complete forms like the survey and use other (current and future features). I suspect some people are not getting emails, so those who use the Contact & Report Error forms can now see the response by clicking on a link right below the greeting. Other features will be added and depend on knowing who is using. … The site will improve and evolve based on your feedback.”

    John has done what no one else could do, made this a true world ranking system. He is tireless in his efforts and passionate to a fault.

    I would encourage everyone who wants to see their rank in the US or the World to please become a member.

    I would also encourage those who run meets to consider adding a small fee, similar to a USATF Surcharge, that can be given to Masters Rankings. The system that John has set up for submission of meet results is a timesaver and worth the donation.

    Agree, I do it for local and state senior games.
