Meet Results - Meet results should show now show in the heading information the sanction number. This is in addition to the meet name, date, location and pool length which is already a requirement. Providing Initial Distance Times - For meets where the timing system is interfaced with the computer, initial distance times shall be made available upon request. That means swimmers entering meets who have an observed time must use that time if it is their best. Having this additional information is as useful in determining what should be the Official Time as knowing the swimmer touched late or missed the pad.
Timers know when they have inadvertently misused their button or watch at a finish.
Report if the swimmer has delayed in touching or has missed the touch pad at the finish, or there is reason to believe the semi-automatic or manual times may be inaccurate. To ensure that the Timing Equipment Operator can judge when a touchpad has malfunctioned or failed to record a finish touch. The timing equipment should be placed so that the operator is able to observe the finish of each race. The current rule book does not address this situation. That led to a protest when this happened during the 2nd of 3 circle-seeded heats during prelims of a major meet.
