chip time與冠軍

taiho

想問chip time是否比賽一结束 大會就知  定還是靠终點的工作人員計時?

對的，是即是知道的，只要運動員，經過Finish的地條感應器，便即時把跑手的time and 個人detail,傳給微型CP.     

原理，可以想像成，超市的付費方式，一過機的所有貨品資料與價錢，便一清而楚。
同舊式的Bar Code 原理差不多@@@

前幾天有幸聽到家豪教練說
原來有世界各地都有些比賽用個人時間計比賽名次的

For a lot of age-group type awards, or for reporting-purpose, the placements are based on chip time, but the overall winner (1st place) is always awarded based on gun-time as far as I know, because a race in essence is to determine who crosses the finish line first, and it will be unfair for a runner to cross first, and then find out another runner wins by chip-time due to starting the race many minutes late. Racing for top spot is a competition among runners, and requires situational strategy (reacting to what other runners are doing) in addition to talent, and using chip-time for placement defeats that purpose. For 99.99% of us runners, chip-time is more practical than gun-time.
