Q: What timing is required at a national calendar race?

Under the National Competition Rules 2026-27: FIS calendar races and ACA U16 Regional Championships: electronic timers, start gates and photocells homologated by the FIS must be used, with two synchronised, electronically isolated timing systems operating in time-of-day. Other national calendar races: FIS-homologated equipment is recommended, and one electronic timing system operating in time-of-day must be used. A second, electronically isolated system is recommended. All national calendar races: manual (hand) timing, completely separate and independent of the electronic timing, must be used. A technical timing report is recommended to be reviewed by the Chief of Timing and the Technical Delegate.
