CURRENT STANDINGS OF CHAMPIONSHIP A number of club records have been broken this year. Gun versus Chip timing in race results For the avoidance of any doubt following the matter being raised within the club recently, this is the official line on the recording of official times in race results: IAAF Competition Rule No. 165.24e: "The official time will be the time elapsed between the start gun and the athlete reaching the finish line (Gun Time). However, if an athlete crosses the start line after the start gun, his time elapsed between the start and finish line (Chip Time) can be made known to the athlete but will not be considered as official time."
