Description

On this episode we speak with Marc Roy, the owner and CEO of Sportstats. Sportstats is the largest timing company in North America. Marc talks about technology in timing, and why it's important to wear your bib properly, and steps you can take to make sure that your bib registers as you cross the timing mats. Sportstats uses advanced metrics to identify and remove course cutters from the final results or to adjust results for runners that drop down in distance. We talk about cheating and the timer's obligation to make sure the results they submit are accurate.
