ページ 23 RACE TIMING- TIMING TAGS

What is Net time and how is it different from Gun time? • Net time (Chip time) is recorded by an electronic tag that is attached to your sash. Net time is often shorter than Gun time because Net time begins when a runner crosses the start line while Gun time starts when the gun is fired. Many runners don’t cross the start line until several minutes after their official Gun time has begun.

How accurate is Net time? • Net time is the most accurate run timing available because it measures the exact time between a runner crossing the start line, transition point and finish line. Net time also records several important splits, providing an accurate record of a runner’s pace.

What do I do with the Timing tag after the run? • You do not need to return your Timing tag and can dispose it after completing the race.

What happens if the Timing tag gets wet? • The tag is completely waterproof and will work regardless of inclement conditions.

How do I make sure if my Timing tag works? • Each Timing tag is checked for functionality before it is distributed.
