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.
