WORDING FOR ENTRY FORMS
All entry forms MUST include the words Under UK:A Rules on all advertisements, programs and printed matter issued in connection with the athletic event; including the SEAA Unique Permit Number and Course Measurement Certificate Logo.
It
is a condition of the permit scheme that all race literature must have
the above information, it
will therefore be necessary for you to apply for you race permit at
least 6 weeks before your print deadline for forms.
It can take 6 weeks for permits to be processed if the
application has to be approved by a County road race committee, sent to
me, processed and posted.
Very
late application may result in the permit not being issued by race day
and the insurance offered by the scheme not being in place.
TIMEKEEPERS
To those of you who have
operated it finish funnels before this may seem as trying to teach your
grandmother to suck eggs, but the method is tried and tested and it works, so
why try to reinvent the wheel. If we all sing by the same hymnbook nothing
should go wrong. Ha Ha.
TIMEKEEPERS
(TK) & TIME RECORDERS (TR)
Make contact with the Race Starter and make sure that he / she will not start the race until you are ready to start timing. Position yourself where you can see the race starter and signal the starter when you are ready. Start both stopwatches the instant the gun / horn goes off.
Return to the
finish line and prepare to time the first runners home. The
timekeeper’s recorder (TR) will note the leading competitors finishing time as
called by the timekeeper in the section marked time by position 1 on the timing
sheet, the second runner in position 2 and
so on with each runner to finish. If possible the TR will record the first 3
competitors number as well as their finishing times. The TR will also record at
least 2 spot times preferably more, per sheet including noting the first 3
ladies to finish. (Spot times are where a competitor’s number is recorded with
their time, as to give a finishing point of reference for the computer
operator). DO NOT LET ANYONE DISTRACT YOU BY ALLOWING ANYONE TO ASK FOR A
FINISH TIME, TELL THEM POLITELY TO GO
AWAY
FINISH RECORDERS (FR) &
FINISH CALLERS (FC)
Position yourselves at the opposite end of the finish funnel to the timekeepers and nowhere else ready to record the first finishers race number as he / she leaves the funnel. The person who is doing the writing (FR) should stand with his / her back to the finish line, so that he / she cannot see the approaching runners. The finish recorder’s caller (FC) will call the competitors race number to the FR to write the competitors number in the appropriate position on the finishers sheet and the FC must stop anyone exiting the finish funnel until they are happy that the FR as noted the competitors number in the correct position on the finishers sheet. Be as quick as you can without making any mistakes as to keep the finish funnel as clear as possible.
For further information on Timekeeping and Recording of Positions, please contact either Joe Mower or Paul Felton.
