  3. 3. Finish times are automatically recorded with millisecond precision
Best for: Small events, community races, training sessions

QR Code Scanner

Use your smartphone as a checkpoint scanner. Participants wear printed QR codes that are scanned as they cross timing points.

How it works:

  1. 1. Print unique QR codes for each participant to wear
  2. 2. Set up checkpoint stations with smartphone cameras
  3. 3. As participants pass, cameras scan their codes to record times instantly
Best for: Larger events, multiple checkpoints, hands-free operation
