Successful Scoring with Transponders

Successful scoring

Successful scoring with transponders relies on a number of key items to be in place. Get these right and the event will be a success.

Before the race

  • The timing system must be checked before every event — see how to check the timing system here Check timing system
  • Every rider must check their transponder before the race
  • All transponders must be correctly registered to the rider

Note

A checking station is essential to manage transponders before an event

During the race

  • Effective race and track management is in place
  • All timing loops are protected from unintended stray transponder readings
  • There are no riders/transponders on the track who should not be on the track(this includes riders who finish a race then ride back on the track to check on a fallen comrade for example)
  • Staging must always ensure the correct riders are on the gate
  • All DNF and DNS must be provided to the scoring team in a timely fashion
  • Good communication with the scoring team is essential
