Got to agree with you djberriman, event timing it can be a major cause of fustrations for paddlers and organisers. As DadsTaxi said the "event clock" might be difficult to implement, so how about the simplest of solutions? Like you suggested dj. A big whiteboard by the starter that can be quickly u...

The weather was perfect, and its rarely that sunbathing wh...
