Chip ("Real") time versus Gun ("Official") time
IAAF Timing and awards policy: how are the winners determined?
Gun Time is the official time.
All awards are based on GUN TIME – the time from the start of the race
(gun) to when you cross the finish line as per IAAF, Athletics Canada,
USATF, AIMS and International Awards standards.
Excerpt from the IAAF Road Race Handbook - Pg 196 RULE 240
Note: For road races and road walking events, the official time will be
the time elapsed between the start gun and the athlete reaching the finish
line. However, if an athlete crosses the start line after the start gun,
his time elapsed between the start and finish line can be made known to
the athlete but will not be considered as official time. The order in
which athletes reach the finish line will be considered as the official
finish position. 196 RULE 240
The Chip timing is provided for personal interest.
