Race Timing and Management

We use the newest jaguar timing system to ensure fast, accurate results for our race directors.

The Jaguar Timing System Advantage

For years, race timing has relied on mats or ramps—systems that, while familiar, are prone to errors, maintenance headaches, and inconsistent results. Many organizers still rely on these traditional methods today, unaware of the hidden challenges they carry.

Jaguar changes the game. Our state-of-the-art timing system delivers unmatched precision, reliability, and ease of use, ensuring every race is measured flawlessly from start to finish.

No more guessing. No more compromises. Jaguar’s innovative design overcomes the common pitfalls of conventional timing systems, giving you the confidence that every split second is counted accurately.

Discover the Jaguar difference—and take your race timing to the next level.

Potential Problems with mat/ramp systems:

  • The failure of a single mat/ramp can greatly impact read success
  • The chips are essentially in control, not the timing system
  • Data collisions can cause severe read problems
  • Metal such as rebar in roads can cause issues
  • Weather such as snow, ice or mud can cause lost reads
  • Read distance from the chip to the mat or ramp is often very short
  • Read redundancy is limited due to short chip views
  • Electrical power lines and RF noise can cause read problems
  • Potential danger to the athlete who may trip or slip
  • Damage can occur to the mats or ramps from heavy vehicles
  • Difficult to use on open roads with automobile traffic
  • High density of athletes can cause missed chip reads

Advantages of the Jaguar System Design:

  • The failure of a single antenna has little impact on read success
  • The system controls the chips, not the other way around
  • Metal objects near the finish line are not a concern
  • Weather such as snow, ice or mud is not a great concern
  • Distance from the chip to the antenna can be up to 50 feet
  • The system can see the chip coming and adjust to density
  • Redundancy is far superior to mat or ramp systems
  • Electrical noise and RF noise are not a problem
  • Chips are read multiple times, which increases read success
  • Athletes don’t run the risk of tripping or slipping on a mat or ramp
  • Can be used on open roads and reads chips from the sides
  • Software and hardware work together to maximize read success
