What is never changed automatically

What it's for

Timing is yours. Race Bureau records what the device sends and flags what looks wrong; it never rewrites a time, a bib or an order on its own.

The rules

• No automatic re-assigning of an impulse to another bib.
• No automatic crossing out or re-ordering of competitors.
• No caps or invented lists: the start list is the one you drew.
• A doubled bib is flagged with ! and left for you. A duplicate is better than a missed impulse.
• A box-stamped impulse is never re-routed automatically.
• A hand time comes in through Modify data and its calculator only (see Modify data and hand time). It is marked *HT.
• A time is never rounded: run times are truncated to 1/100 s (see Units).
• Time zones never affect timing: an impulse is filed by which race and run was green when it arrived.
• The lock is per race and per run, never per event. Red means the impulse is not stored at all; green keeps collecting when you leave the desk.
