What is the difference between Ultra and Chronotrack?
Both systems use UHF Generation 2 readers working in the same band for the country of deployment. The systems differ in the type of antennas used and most strikingly, the position of the transponder on the athlete. With Ultra there is no need to put anything on the shoe lace and worry about the athlete making mistakes with putting the tag on. The BAP tag used in Ultra sticks to the back of the existing race bib making the timing process more efficient and reliable. You only need to miss the finish time of 1% of runners to receive 200 angry emails post race. Many of these runners will have made an innocent mistake attaching their shoe tags on the Chronotrack system.
