Timing & Scoring
This year EdJaH Chip Timing Systems will
utilize their new
MyLaps Disposable Bib tags.
No other timing chip
may be worn.
One of the many goals of the MyLaps system is to simplify the timing
process for athletes. A single-use tag eliminates the need for several
organizational choke points that allow the athletes to spend more time
focusing on their competition and less time waiting in lines. Shorter
lines before the race to pick up your bib and chip and no line to return
your tag or chip afterward are just some of the benefits to the
MyLaps system.
No transferring of assigned chips is permitted, as they are computer coded
to your race number and to your personal race day data (event, age,
gender, etc.).
For the 4 and 8 person relay teams we will use the
IPICO Chip Timing System.
Relay runners will exchange this chip attached to a Velcro band on
your ankle.
Timing
mats will be placed along the course. You must cross all the timing mats
to be accurately scored. Your chip transmits a unique signal which
enables our computers to record your official “chip” time.
The
MyLaps system will give you both an official "gun" time as well
as an unofficial "net" time from when you cross over the starting mats.
You and your chip must pass over both mat systems (start and finish) in
order to receive your "net" time. If your start time is not recorded, you
will only receive your "gun" time. Competitive runners seeking to win age
group categories are encouraged to position themselves near the front for
the best official "gun" time results.
"Gun"
times for all runners will be submitted to the USA-TF. Due to USA-TF
Rule 136, the official order of finish for State and National records and
rankings will be based on gun time. As the USA-TF sanctions our race,
we abide by this rule. “Net" times are unofficial and are for your
personal use only. Website results will be posted with both gun and net
times.
Runner
Bib Numbers
Race numbers are assigned by the
race director. Race numbers for the marathon are from 1-1000. Elite
runners will be given “low” race numbers. Race numbers for the Relay Teams
are from 1501 to 1999. Half Marathon Race Numbers will begin with 2001.
Marathon, Relay, & Half marathon bib numbers will be different colors to
identify participants.
You must wear your official race number as a means of visual personal
identification at all times while on the race course. Please wear your
number on the FRONT of your shirt or shorts. No transferring of assigned
race numbers.
Each member of a Relay Team and all Half Marathoners will also wear a race
tag on the back of their clothing, so that the marathoners know they are
being passed or are following a Half Marathoner or a Relay Team runner.
The final (fourth) relay team member must wear the race number with the
tear off tag/ race name and logo’s so that race organizer’s know it is the
final team member.
If the information on your race number is incorrect, please let the
volunteers at registration know. DO NOT REMOVE THE LABEL. Remember: your
official race number will grant you entry into the post race refreshment
area.
