Clipboard/Stop Watch Person’s Responsibilities

Interval Start

At the start:

· Get the first few folks lined up and ready to go (a good loud voice is a plus!!)

· Start the stop watch

· Send the first person off at 15 seconds

· Then 1 person every 15 seconds after that

· If there is a gap in bibs (such as #120 and #131), pretend there is a person there (they are called ghosts). That means there will be 30 seconds between, say, bib #119 and #121

· Count down out loud from 5 for each person at the start

At the finish:

· Primary job is to write down bib order. The person with the timer might catch a few but it is YOUR responsibility to capture correct bib order.

· When possible, also jot down the time for each person crossing the line. This will act as a back-up in case we have technical difficulties with the timer.

· If there is a group coming in a clump, catch the bib order and try to at least get the first person’s time and then put a bracket to indicate that they finished close together.
