If an event can be considered as small in the context of manual timing depends more on the number of participants finishing per minute than on the total number of participants. A 250 meter child’s run with 20 kids can be more challenging than a half marathon with 200 participants.
The method described in this section works well for events with a maximum of 10 finishers per minute. Times and bib numbers will be captured together at the finish line using one computer.
