Timing Equipment. Nordiq Canada requires that start/finish times be electronically generated with a completely independent back−up system. There must be an enclosed and heated timing building with an electronic timing unit (i.e., Summit Systems etc.). An electronic start gate must be used at the start of interval start races in conjunction with a large format display/count−down clock. The start gate must have a post on either side to ensure a skier cannot leave in either technique without opening the gate. If the gate is too narrow for sit skiers to start using the standard gate, they may start outside the gate in the late start lane. At the finish, an electronic beam signal is required to capture the time of the athlete as he/she crosses the finish line. All competitions using mass start or sprint formats must include approved digital photo finish line equipment. Event personnel must be trained in the use of this system. Course controllers should be provided with training on video capture equipment, or other suitable equipment,to verify technique or other violations at key locations during the competition. The FIS Data Timing Report must be completed by the Timing Service Provider on a timely basis after each competition day to allow the FIS results to be validated for points. A display clock as a visual aid to tell skiers when to start is also recommended. For all new FIS timing requirements please refer to the FIS Timing Manual.
Timing Equipment. Where Sport Ident “dibbers” and/ or other timing equipment are issued to you for wearing during the Event, you must return the same to Rat Race immediately post-Event. The timing equipment remains Rat Race’ property at all times. If you fail to return any such items promptly or at all or return it damaged, you hereby agree to reimburse Rat Race for the replacement value of £30 per item of equipment
Timing Equipment. Athletes, coaches and media expect quick, accurate Official Results that conform to Nordiq Canada protocol as outlined in 7.3. In addition, Nordiq Canada strongly recommends that start/finish times be electronically generated with a completely independent back-up system. • There should be an enclosed and heated timing building of some type. • For interval start races and sprint qualification an electronic start gate should be used at the start in conjunction with a large format start clock. • At the finish, an electronic beam signal is recommended to capture the time of the athlete as he/she crosses the finish line. In some situations, a manual push button signal may be used to electronically generate a start/finish signal. • The OC must ensure the Timing Service consultant provides the FIS Timing Report in xml format within 24 hours of each competition. • Times generated by finish line cameras were approved by FIS in 2012. • At NorAm selection competitions featuring mass start, sprint or pursuit style formats, approved digital photo finish line equipment must be used. The OC is responsible for all related costs. • A display clock as a visual aid to tell skiers when to start is also recommended by Nordiq Canada.
