Timing Services

We provide a complete suite of services necessary to deliver perfect results for any cycling event. For best results, we recommend using an on-line registration system, since results can never be better than registration.  On-line registration eliminates printing, signing and saving waivers, and allows pre-registered racers to quickly pickup their bib and chip.

Remote Support Option:

If you need all of the services we provide but want to have someone local operate the laptop on race day for the event, we can provide complete support remotely. Using both phone and computer remote control, we can configure CrossMgr software on a laptop for race day, and then provide remote support for getting the races scored and uploaded to USAcycling.org or BikeReg.com after the race. This option is ideal for promoters looking to begin using CrossMgr for race results.  We can service events anywhere in the English speaking world.
