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!
Ummm, let's not forget On the Mark Sports!
ReplyDeleteOn the Mark Sports has never messed up timing :-)
ReplyDeleteBut I added them all the same
ReplyDeleteActually, we don't use IPICO anymore, regardless of what the website says. We do use chronotrack and RFID...but you're right. We don't mess up timing!
