I don't think I've seen anybody suggest placing the timing chip on the torso (attached to race number?). This would seem to solve the trailing vs. leading leg problem. I've been researching using chips for the Great American XC Festival for 2002. Our meet director told was told that a

Can this chip timing record team standing at every 5 km split and report those standing to a press room and TV in real time? So could viewers of the Boston Marathon, for example, know as soon as the three runners of a USATF team pass the 5 km that that team is winning? I am imagining a team

Re: t-and-f: chip timing at European Cross-Country Chamionships

I think this is where this technology holds the most promise. Wouldn't it be great to know the team scoring during an XC race and to see how it is developing? Or to see the early splits? May be have the mats at every 800m-1/2M point. Some things to consider with the chip: A runner's

Re: t-and-f: chip timing at European Cross-Country Chamionships

I'm not a chip expert, but I recently worked with a champion chip crew at a large marathon. The race timing was started by the gun and individuals were recorded as they crossed the finish mat. The official results were gun times. A few complained that Boston accepts chip times and they should
