How is a CEC event scored?
The scoring for the special tests in the CECS is based on time and is recorded electronically using transponders carried by each rider. Each transponder is programmed the rider’s number and class and records his time in each special test to the tenth of a second. As the rider passes the start and finish of a special test the information from the transponder is recorded along with the time of day. There is a digital display that shows the time the rider in questions crosses the start or finish line so that event personnel can manually record each rider’s time for backup.
