yup...big whoops.. but RD owned up to it and really is trying the best he can to work out everybody's times. I am one of the lucky ones that got a correct chip time...but I didn't have the complete splits.

I've heard of a few races using this system that have had problems. Maybe they need to work the bugs out before using this in a major race.

Yes, but that does not account for chip timing. So if it took you 5 minutes to get to the starting line, you may be outta luck.

True, but chip time will always be less than gun time. So if you have a photo of yourself crossing the finish line with a BQ time (which would be gun time), that should be enough, right? B/c if your gun time qualifies, than so does your chip time.
