Essential Information for Electronic Punching and Timing System
1. No Competitor may refuse to use the “electronic punching and timing system” unless the organizer has issued the Notice of Malfunction of the aforesaid system.
2. The running time will be calculated based on the records in the E-card s. If the organizer has doubt on a particular punch record of an E-card , records of the backup label will be considered as a valid counter-check tool. In case both of them have no record, that particular punch record will be deemed voided.
Start
1. At least 6 seconds before start, competitors must activate their E-card s by placing them on the “Start Unit” until the red light flashes, and otherwise no running time will be recorded.
2. Competitors must remove the E-card s from the “Start Unit” when the starter gives a long beep signal for starting.
During competition
1. It is the competitors’ own responsibility to insert the E-card into the e-punch correctly. In fact, E-card s can only be inserted into the e-punch in one direction. If both the E-card and backup label cannot record a particular punch record, system malfunction will not be considered as a valid reason for appeal.
Finish
1. As soon as competitors arrive at the Finish, please place the E-card s at the Finish Control, the time-count will stop accordingly,
2. After that, please follow the signposts/indication cards to return to the Event Centre and report to the Result Processing Station. After our officials have collected your backup label and have downloaded the records from your E-card , you may obtain your result slip from the mini-time recorder for reference.
Result Processing and Display
1. Please do not insert your E-card into any Start Unit or e-punch after the completion of your race. By not doing so, your punch records will be retained for counter-check purpose.
2. Results of late starters will be processed separately. The final results displayed by the organizer will be conclusive; results from the mini-time recorder are for reference only.
