Essential Information for Electronic Punching and Timing System
1. This Event will use the “Emit” Electronic Punching and Timing System.
2. 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.
3. In case you forget to bring your electronic control cards (e-cards), you need to borrow the organizer’s e-card with a deposit of HK$250 in addition to a HK$ 50 rental charge. Any competitor without an e-card will not be allowed to start. The organizer only has limited supplies of e-cards, and will lend them on a first-come-first-serve basis.
4. Competitors should write down their competitors’ numbers in the front of their backup labels before start. Such labels are of great use to the organizer in counter-checking records.
5. The running time will be calculated based on the records in the e-cards. 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.
1. At least 6 seconds before start, competitors must activate their e-cards 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-cards from the “Start Unit” when the starter gives a long beep signal for starting.
1. It is the competitors’ own responsibility to insert the e-card into the e-punch correctly. In fact, e-cards 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.
1. As soon as competitors arrive at the Finish, please place the e-cards 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.
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.
