Maybe it will help some people, maybe it won't. Here's my stance on the issue and I meant to post this last season. As coaches, we know should know what’s realistic. If there are bogus times, let’s fix before we put out for the rest of the world to see. The time is so you can show if your athlete is improving or not going into conference/regional/championship meets.īefore we all get excited about hand times, let’s make sure we are timing these young athletes properly and helping each other out in the process. During the week, most athletes are just trying to get in good marks, so the place doesn’t really matter… it’s not a championship style meet and awards aren’t given….that’s at least what I preach to my teams. You can’t use watches and time places at the same time… you have to time lanes. Also need to have at least one person calling out the order of finish along with a person to write down/type in the results. It’s imperative to have as many watches as you have lanes. Every person must start their watches on the smoke of the gun and stop their watches once the torso crosses the finish line. If you don’t have enough timers, you must recruit some teachers, coaches, or possibly some parents to help. If you are hosting meets, the number one thing you have to lock down is finish line/results. I am not knocking anyone at all either and not because have access to FAT for those that know me. Maybe it will help some people, maybe it won’t.
FREE RACE TIMING APP SOFTWARE
If you think fsTimer might be right for your race, then download the software (it's free!), read the documentation, and try it out! If you do use fsTimer for your race, we would love to hear about it - please send us an email at This software is under active development, so we are especially interested in hearing about new features that would be useful to you.Here’s my stance on the issue and I meant to post this last season. If you are running a for-profit, non-charity race and cannot tolerate a chance of failure, you might be better off paying the professionals and getting the associated guarantees. That said, we have successfully used fsTimer to time races for a few years now.

When using volunteers and free software, there is always a chance of catastrophic failure. For larger races than that, you probably want to consider RFID tags just for the logistics. We have used fsTimer for races of up to 500 people.
FREE RACE TIMING APP PROFESSIONAL
We developed fsTimer to time our charity 5k, since it didn't seem right to spend more than $1000 for a professional race timer when that money could be better used to buy food for the hungry. Supports races with handicaps, or multiple start times.Supports races with multiple laps and automatically computes individual lap times and ranks by total time.
