OUR PHOTO-FINISH COMPUTER CREW OFFERS NUMEROUS SOLUTIONS FOR THE TIMING AND RESULTS OF YOUR MANY TRACK & FIELD EVENTS!

A FinishLynx line-scan camera only sees a very narrow piece of the world: the finish line!

It looks at that finish line many times a second and creates a continuous image capable of separating the tightest finishes and reading to 1/1000th of a second!


OUR MISSION

Our crew provides a high level, professional timing and results service for both track and field events. We can handle field events as well, from seeding to recording sheets, to the final set of results (long or short form).

To bring the technologies currently available at the highest levels of sport to your event. 

In all running events, we guarantee immediate official finish places and exact time for every athlete competing.

To respect and fulfill the athletes’ needs by ensuring accurate and impartial results.

RESULTS MANAGEMENT

Full meet administration using the latest meet management software. Integrated with FinishLynx for complete automatic results processing. Automatically sets up all heats using predetermined seeding formulas (or your rules!), and prints out all heat sheets via Hy-Tek Meet Manager.

All functions, such as, team scoring, forming flights and heats, qualifying procedures, are handled with the computer. Results are produced quickly and neatly after each event and in summary immediately after the completion of the meet.

As a result of our expertise, sporting events can have the ability to generate results rapidly and then post them to the Internet, to scoreboards, etc.

"The efficiency of their system and its integration into the broader results management system cannot be over-stated. Once running, it almost seemed too easy from the perspective of the observer. Results were given to the athletes, coaches and public within minutes of each race's conclusion and on the Internet within 90 seconds. Truly incredible!"

Dennis Barrett, Meet Director -- 1999 & 2000 CIAU Athletics Championships

"The Photo-Finish system allows authentic results (up) to the (ten) thousandth of a second. Consequently, there are NO arguments possible…

Due to the efficiency of the photo-finish system, the operators only require one teacher and one or two volunteers at the finish line; NOT eight or ten teachers / volunteers commonly needed with the traditional hand-timing "system". With that in mind, the cost disbursed for the use of the system are way below those allocated for supply teaching on that day... ...and is indispensable for an excellent school meet!" 

Denis Landry, Principal (D.A.Moodie Intermediate School); Former President of the Ontario Track & Field Association.

"I do not hesitate to recommend the Ottawa Lions' (Timing Crew) for your consideration."

Susan Fleming, (NCSSAA); Former Chairperson, Committee for Girls' Activities, Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA).
