Triathlon & MultiSports
Triathlons and multisports events are tough in every aspect. Event organizers as well as timekeepers, have to perfectly manage different classes and distances, along with transition areas and registrations. Besides all that, athletes expect flawless timing and a smooth running event.
Timing solutions for triathlon and multi-sports
✔ High speed accuracy ✔ Suitable for multiple disciplines ✔ Both ProChip and BibTag available
Timekeeping triathlon and multisports events and races is a huge challenge. With multiple disciplines and splits points that all have to give accurate results, you need to be able to rely on your equipment.
Triathlon challenges can sometimes be visited by thousands of athletes who are up for a challenge. Whereas professional triathletes, reach high speeds while having to be measured at an accuracy of 1/1000th of a seconds. With these challenging conditions at events, timers simply need a system on which they can rely at all times.
Timing solutions
Timekeeping at triathlons & multisports events is a huge challenge.
When dealing with triathlons, transition areas are points of interest that need extra attention. Transition areas are perfect places to set up an intermediate timing point (or even two, which enables athletes to see how quick they switch between disciplines). It is advised that detection mats are not placed in tight turns to ensure maximum accuracy.
ProChip System
ProChip Smart Decoder
The ProChip Smart Decoder is the new standard in portable timing decoders. The decoder is 2.5x smaller, 6x lighter and 3x more affordable than the previous ProChip Portable Decoder, while maintaining all of the functionality and even adding features.
Because of it’s small size the ProChip Smart Decoder fits in your carry-on luggage, so it makes your logistics a lot easier. To time a race all you need is the ProChip Smart Decoder, a loop, ProChips and a laptop with Timing & Scoring and you are good to go!
Detection loop
Detection loops are installed in the track at the start and finish line and intermediate time points. The loops work as the system´s antennas and pick up the ProChips signals.
The detection loop can be installed in basically every type of surface.
- Asphalt or concrete (not permanent): use industrial quality adhesive tape to affix the loop to the course. Make sure you use high quality tape to secure the tape to the road.
- Ice: Cut slots of approximately 2 cm (1inch) deep in the ice, embed the loop wires and fill with water. Make sure to do this well in advance of an event, as the water will need some time to freeze.
- Snow: cut slots in the snow, approximately 20 cm (8 inch) deep. Place the loop wires in the slot and fill them with snow.

BibTag System
BibTag Decoder
The decoder is attached to the mats and decodes the BibTag signals into the athletes IDs and their measured times. Portable decoders have an integrated battery and can measure up to 50 BibTag passings per second.
The system is especially designed for mass events and can handle a high density of athletes.
BibTag Mat
Detection mats are placed at the start, finish and split timing locations. The mats serve as the system’s antennas and detect the signals sent out by the BibTags. We offer modular mats that allow you to create timing locations between 1 and 8 meters wide per system.
MultiSportsTag
The BibTag system comes with different tags. These tags are designed for example for different weather conditions or types of sports. Pick the tag that suits your needs best and your timing system is ready for your next event.

The cabling is integrated within the mat, so there’s no more manual cable handling needed. The short setup time (within 1 minute) means minimal road closure time before and after the race.
The mat is compatible with both the MYLAPS BibTag and ProChip systems, which makes it a convenient solution for multiple sports and their unique timing needs. The flat design guarantees safe passing for all sports.
