Reminder for handling a faulty chip.

If you do not hear the beeps when crossing the mat or believe your chip is faulty, the correct process is to input the requested details on the FAULTY CHIPS sheet, located with the Early Runners sheet on the shed to the left of the drinks table.

After completing the requested information, please leave the chip in the container located on the table near the sheet board. As the sheet says, “Failure to do so will result in your time not counting.”

We will test the chip, and if it is working, you will receive the officially recorded time. If it is not working your manually recorded time will be accepted.
