How did they do it at this year's Worlds and Hood? I think they both used Excelmate and newer Trackmate. At Hood River we took 2X the early-start amount and applied that as a false-start penalty. We did this for the Qualification rounds and for the Elimination rounds. The ISSA rules call for using ...

Dual Quals Timing
In Dan's spreadsheet, there is usually a single place to fill in the "Start Penalty" multiplier. It is usually on the "Qualification" sheet. It is usually 2X the early start amount. It applies to times recorded in Duals and in Elims. This is consistent with the ISSA rules (start penalty is 2X the ea...

Stinky Petri-dish pads
Best advice I got (thanks paul howard) and seems to work:
Set the pads in the sun, inside-out (areas that contact skin shining in the sun).
Evidently, the UV rays of the sun will kill them germs.

In both systems, the active timing pin is pulled to +5V by a pullup resistor. No current is flowing thru the wires or the switch until the racer hits the switch. When the racer hits the switch, the current flows from the active pin to ground (the other wire in the system). This pulls the voltage to ...
