Chip Timing > Manual Timing

Or is it? Obviously, it be impossible to manually time large races, but chip timing is not flawless. We've all been frustrated by "results reporting"... how hard can it be? The way I figure it, they know your starting and ending time as soon as you cross both mats, so subtract them... one, simple equation. Anyways, here are the links to the timing systems used by many of the local companies. In theory, they all should work!

• Precision Racing uses the Jaguar Timing System.
• Young & Associates uses ChampionChip (now MYLAPS). This timing system was used in the 2011 Boston Marathon and the IRONMAN World Championships.
• FS Series uses the Winning Time System.
• On The Mark Sports uses ChronoTrack and IPICO.
• ChronoTrack (B-tag and D-tag) systems are also popular.
