A Note on Timing
We aim to publish the results as quickly as possible. However, they may initially contain some errors and will therefore be marked as ‘provisional’.
Any Masters handicaps and penalties awarded by the Chief Umpire will then be added.
Timing a head race depends on matching separate streams of data for crew number and time at both start and finish. Occasionally a time may initially be matched to the wrong crew.
The Quintin Head is timed with three separate systems and photographs are taken of crews as they cross the line. As soon as possible after the end of the race – and, we hope, during the race – provisional results based on just one of the timing systems will be put online. The results from the three systems will then be compared. The official results will be published only once all discrepancies and protests have been resolved. At that stage the ‘provisional’ label will be removed.
If you suspect there are errors in the provisional results, please email chiefumpire@quintinhead.org
