This system is designed to provide information from one area of the race course to another. In an ideal situation, each area would have some form of computer connected to the Internet so that they can connect to regattadata.com.

The following areas are provided for:

General information

Athlete weigh-ins

Control commission / out dock

Start line

Finish line

This is the heart of the timing system. A computer here is used to record the actual times of each crew finishing. I'd also recommend that you print out the finish sheets for each race, as these form the basis of the paper record of or regatta. It can be tricky to record everything that happens, especially in a close race, so it's a good idea to have two or three people at the finish line to watch, record and use the computer as races finish.
