Abstract:
1. A race management device, comprising: a base unit; a first lane defining element being coupled to and extending from the base unit, the first lane defining element being movable relative to the base unit and actuatable by a first user at the start of a race and by the first user at the end of the race; a second lane defining element being coupled to and extending from the base unit in a direction opposite to the direction in which the first lane defining element extends, the second lane defining element being movable relative to the base unit and actuatable by a second user at the start of the race and by the second user at the end of the race, the first lane defining element being movable relative to the base independent of any movement of the second lane defining element relative to the base; and a control system, the control system including a sensor and a processor, the sensor being configured to detect actuation of either of the lane defining elements by a user, the processor being configured to control the generation of an output in response to said detection, the output indicating which of the lane defining elements is actuated first at the end of the race.
