The importance of main and back up lines
The ChampionChip technology relies heavily on electronics,
computers and software that is operated by humans. Because
of this, sooner or later something may go wrong. We
insist that ChampionChip timers always use a main line
and backup line at critical locations, such as the start
and finish of an event. If one line fails, either the
main or the backup will continue to operate. One line
will still produce results close to 100%. It is extremely
unlikely that both the main and backup lines will fail
at the same time, because they are completely separate
systems.
Please note that two Ears must be used, one for the
main system and one for the backup system, to have completely
separate systems.
This approach has made the ChampionChip Timing System
the most reliable system for active sports events in
the world, time, after time, after time.
