Hand Timer InstructionsManual timing with synchronized stopwatches is used as a backup to the electronictiming system. Volunteers are positioned at both the start and finish lines to capturestart and finish times for each racer, to a resolution of 1/100th second, and to write thetime on a sheet of paper. In case of failure of the electronic timing system, these timesare used to calculate a racer's elapsed time. Prior to the race, stopwatches aresynchronized. When pressed, the button at the top left of your stopwatch captures thecurrent time and freezes it on the bottom line of the LCD display (where it remains untilthe button is pressed again). Your job is to consistently capture and record this time foreach start or finish event that you observe.The stopwatches record a continual running time at 1/100 second resolution, andfeature several display modes. The Hanhart Delta E 100 watch, pictured below, displaystwo rows of seven digits, with the word "split" in the lower right corner of the LCD. If yourwatch accidentally moves out of the "time" mode (the watch pictured below is in the"lap" mode), press the mode button (the large button in the center of the watch) enoughtimes to move back to the "time" mode. Don’t worry, pressing the mode button has noeffect on the running time of the watch.The top row of digits displays the running time of day, and is not used, other than toindicate that the watch is working.When pressed, the black button at the upper left of the watch will freeze a "timestamp"on the lower line of digits. This is what should be recorded for each start/finish racerevent. The value will remain until the button is depressed again. Oddly, the times on thetop and bottom lines may not agree exactly. The bottom lines on the paired,synchronized watches should be precisely the same, though.Ideally manual timers work in pairs, with one individual capturing the times, and anotherrecording the results. If we're short volunteers, one person can do both jobs.At the start line, work with the start referee to make sure your position will not interferewith race operations. Watch the action of the start wand, which pops open quickly whenthe racer begins.At the finish line, align yourself up to the actual finish line gates, preferably behind thereflectors. Key your response off of the same body part crossing the line for each racer,preferably the shin. For consistency, every racer should be observed from the sameposition.Use your index finger to press the stopwatch button, not your thumb.It's a long day. Bring coffee, hand warmers, a snack, and a folding chair or a 5-gallonbucket to sit on if you want.Fill out all information requested at the top of the 'timekeeper recording form'. You willbe filling out several of these sheets during the race. It is vital that the requestedinformation on top of the form be completely filled in. It's helpful to have someone else
