Both "pages" are really just differently formatted queries to the same TIMS database.

I see from your signature, you volunteer as an inspector (as do I). This is really knowledge that FTAs and scorekeepers acquire. If you know some, you can learn a lot from them about the FMS. If you don't know any, just listen to the ones on CD when they speak.
fair enough. However, I have been working on team/event/match data retrieval projects from official sources for a few years now, so I'm surprised that site hasn't come up in my research. I know a few of the FTA's and Scorekeepers, and I know quite a bit about the system just from being around so long.
