Good to know
Do volunteers need to download anything?
No. Timers and the starter join by scanning a QR code in their phone browser. There is no app to install and no account to create.
How accurate is it?
Every phone starts on the same instant when the starter taps GO, and two phones per lane are averaged, landing within a few hundredths. It is far more consistent than a single stopwatch and handwritten cards.
What if a phone drops out mid-race?
Each lane runs two phones, so a single dropout still leaves a valid time. The board flags any lane that needs a manual check.
Does it work with Swim Central?
Yes. Import your program as an HY3 export, and export results as PDF and CSV to load back into your records.
