Timing Training
Here is your resource for all timing training materials including videos, drawings, diagrams, and more.
We emphasize visual learning as we believe it's the fastest path to proficiency and we always welcome feedback on how to make this resource better, more useful, and more effective!
It takes 2 baby!
Timing set up with EDS's Ninja Box is quick, simple, and super easy:
Just 2 quick steps to go live and 2 more to shut down.
Within the next 2 minutes, you'll be fully trained to set up and tear down a Ninja Box timing line.
Ain't 2 a great number?!?!

2 - Folding the mats:
Feibot timing mats have an antenna element in every other section of the foldable mat, represented on the diagram by the color orange.
While this works fine for bib tags since the RFID field builds wider while going higher to cover all of the read space over the mats.
With ankle straps, this presents an issue as runners can go directly over a mat section without an element and the ankle tag never enters an RFID field to power up and read.
To solve this, angling the two outer antenna elements in by propping them upright causes the RFID to extend across the mat sections at a lower level.
