Timing and Scoring: This years race will be timed using Chip technology. Trojan Timing will be timing as in the past, and has invested in the most up to date chip timing technology. The most important part about adding this technology is to ensure that every athlete is wearing their assigned chips and that those chips are returned following each race.
Chip Return- Trojan Timing will have 2 places to return chips. You can return chips at registration for any athlete that will not be participating. All participating athletes will be required to return chips prior to leaving the finish area. A $10 return chip fee will be assessed to the participating team for every chip not returned. Returning chips is the responsibility of the head coach of each team.
Entries are online. . If you know that you will be attending, go ahead and add your schools name so I can get an idea of how many schools will be participating.
