Chaired by Allen Church and vice chair Jordan Ginsberg (absent due to timing commitments) the TWG met in Park City with a short agenda. Discussed was Allen's report on the FIS TWG meeting in Amsterdam where the FIS have asked for an independent testing facility for future timing equipment homologations in Europe and North America. It was suggested that this be done in a university type setting. Scoring of errors from TTRs from the nations was also presented with a breakdown on the types of errors displayed and also cross referenced by equipment used. Many of the USSA and Timing Guys regulars were in attendance including Dirk Gouwens, Tami Strong, John Jacobs, Thelma Hoessler, Nancy Wiedl, Karen Korfanta, Cath O'Donnell, Ellen Hoffman, Curt Gleaves, Lee Sosman, Esther Delliquadri, Pat Callahan, Ernie Page, Kirsten Andreae, Gary Wright, Stanley Goldschmidt and others.

Thanks for the update John,
Can you give us more info or will they publish the TTRs that was presented at the meeting?

The cross reference by equipment would make for some interested reading.

This page is a breakdown by nations. Description of the headers is as follows
to early - Sync happend more than 30 minutes before 1st racer
on to late - power on less than 30 minutes before sync
tod<1000 - Precision less than 1/1000 on report
hand timing problems -
