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.
