Our registration and timing department offers disposable chip timing. Our disposable chip timing system is a cutting edge system produced by RFID Timing of Australia. The system uses passive, label-thin RFID timing chips that are attached to the back each runner’s bib number. This allows for a free-flow of finishers through your race finish line (no chip collection, lanes, etc).
Contact us to see if we’re a perfect fit!
Our clients enjoy the following services at no additional cost.
This allows for a “gun” time and “chip” time for each finisher – standard. No extra charge for start mats.
This allows your announcer to call athlete names as they finish – announcer’s computer is provided at no extra cost.
Digital LED clocks at finish line on tripods for high visibility
…and/or live to web results – athletes can check their results from a smartphone before they even get home! Races are scored in real-time which enhances the participants’ experience at your event.
No extra fee to send email confirmations to your athletes before event.
Data entry of both pre- and race day entries
(no extra charge to design bibs) (cost of bibs is responsibility of event)
Printable PDF/Paper entry form design – if needed
Split point timing for endurance events
Live tracking available on the web or our mobile site for spectators, announcers, etc.
Athletes simply use the laptops to look up their race results. (see below) No extra charge for results kiosks to be set up at event.
Human (manual), video, and second (or third) row of mats.
We have more than one timing system running at the start and finish to ensure all runners times are captured. Your event is not relying on simply one small timing system to do the job, which can be nerve-wracking if that system were to fail.
Even though one chip can do the job 99.9% of the time, we don’t settle for 99.9. We strive for 100% read-rates and nothing less. That is why we outfit each athlete bib with two timing chips at no extra charge to the event director. Should one chip fail, there is a second as back up. Even though we don’t expect one to fail, having one extra chip as back-up provides that extra piece of mind.
Timing Clients receive advertising via our website, monthly e-mail newsletter, twitter, instagram and facebook. This exclusive opportunity extends your marketing reach to hundreds of thousands potential participants in your event.
ACOP has been in the business of timing races for 26 years. We bring that knowledge to the plate when we are hired to score your event. Even the best equipment will only get you so far; it’s the people operating the equipment that sets us apart from others. Our knowledge base is extensive. The ACOP current head timers have over three decades of experience combined and have helped score some of the most prestigious races in Northern California, including the Big Sur Marathon, Triathlon at Pacific Grove, Donner Lake Triathlon, Race for the Cure, Bay to Breakers, plus all the A Change of Pace events, of course. Unlike some timing companies, we also produce large-scale, high-profile, well-attended events ourselves. This provides us with the unique perspective of being both a race director and the timer (as well as the runner).
A Change of Pace Foundation prides itself on being in the position to provide six key elements that separate us from most other timing companies:
Here is a list of some of our previous timing clients.
