[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what is this "time board"?  At our MCSL meets, there's a runner who gets the sheets at the end of the event from all the lanes, and then they bring it to automation.  Then after they've been entered and checked, automation prints out the results and they get taped up somewhere nearby.[/quote]

They are boards that hang above each lane at the timers’ end. They typically have wheels that are adjusted to show the swimmer’s time.

Do you have a link to a picture online of what these might look like?  I've never seen something like this.  I've seen the big electronic boards at indoor PV competitions, sure, hooked up to the timing mats, but I don't think I've ever seen what you describe and my googling so far has fallen flat.[/quote]

Like this? They look super old school

Interesting, thank you for the link!
I guess I'm trying to figure out the timeline of when this would happen.  For any event that is 50m or more, the swimmers finish, then the timers write down the times on the clipboard, and then these 6 boards get changed, but at the same time, the next event is almost or just about to start and the finishing swimmers are dispersing?  I'd say between the time the last swimmer finishes and the next one starts is only about 10s or so typically.[/quote]

True, but then the time sits up there until the next swimmers finish and have their times up there. So plenty of time for a swimmer to check out their time. [/quote]
