I doubt it will have any impact. The economy has been in the tank since 2008 or late 2007, and road races have done just fine. Of course, in the DC metro area, there may be some lobbyists that may...

I think you meant to reply to the original poster.

Cameras, chips, network switches, readers, antennae (mats or otherwise), TimeMachines with wireless Bluetooth adapters, tripods, network cables, garden staples, hammer, timing chip tester, laser...

I found the IPICO conference very useful as well. Lots of ideas and networking, plus upcoming products and other ways to improve the experience for athletes.

Have you looked at Elfscore (http://www.timingiseverything.com/Timing/ELFSCORE.HTM)? You can modify your database, reports, etc. with lots of flexibility and speed. Should you move into chip timing...

Most laptops come recommended for operating temperatures above 32F or 0C. Part of that is due to the electronics in the screens. To keep 'em warm at the finish, I park the van as near to the finish...

Is the software for the virtual COM port installed?

New York forced the cancellation of the Ironman earlier this year. This current fiasco shows that they were not much better prepared than New Orleans was, and didn't take even rudimentary precautions...

Were the runners who urinated on the FDR Memorial possibly descendants of Japanese Americans who were held in internment camps during WWII? If so, they may have thought they were behaving honorably.

Part of the beauty of Capitalism is that people can create races to appeal to whomever they want. So, direct some races, Mr. Kirchdorfer, and see if it takes off. Trademark/Copyright it all you want....

I own one of these clocks. They work great, are well built and sturdy, and have good visibility. I especially like to use the remote for setting them. At one race, I was inside a building, getting a...

Yeah, it would kinda take the work out of actually researching what systems work best for different types of events, wouldn't it?

And, since it's an MBA project, the code words in the request make...

I see quite a few people switching to distances no longer than a half marathon after doing a marathon. As reasons, they cite shorter recovery periods, fewer injuries, less time spent training.

The software that comes with the camera, I think it's Arcsoft's MediaImpressions. It installs when you hook up the camera to the computer via the USB port.

I use Kodak Zi8 camcorders, with a UPS for extended run time and 32GB SDHC class 6+ memory cards. Inexpensive and will run 720p 60fps video which is plenty for most finish lines.

It's never been a problem for me. They are also used at most of the Regionals and Sectionals and at the 1 mile, 1.5 mile, 2 mile and finish line for the IHSA State CC Meet, with no covering at any of...

We use these: http://www.roadtohawaii.com/neoprene_bands.htm

1) Find a provider able to deliver product on short timelines.

2) Communicate frequently with them.

3) There's no algorithm to always get the distribution of sizes correct on race day, but (1)...

I was referring to odrunr above, not you. Sorry!

Maybe we simply have a different frame of reference. Where I live, we timers work together on some races and we compete for others. If I get a request for a race on a date where I'm already...

We've got at least 3 in my city of under 120K, so no sympathy here.

You seem to have a good grasp of the essentials. Start by looking for local running races and cross-country meets to score with the system.

You know, Oklahoma could stand to have some additional people timing races there. ;)

Sorry to see all the bad weather your part of the country has been getting of late.

May I presume you don't want to bother with splits for the Duathlon?

If so, you can get by with Elfscore...
