Relay Judging Platform

Relay judging

Colorado Time Systems' Relay Judging Platform (RJP) technology is the most accurate way to judge relay exchanges. The RJP allows your CTS timer to automatically compare the incoming swimmer's finish on the touchpad with the departure of the swimmer leaving the starting platform. The RJP will provide the necessary information to judge a relay exchange to 1/100th of a second.

The NCAA has declared that automatic relay judging is the fairest and most accurate way to judge relay exchanges. All Division I NCAA Championships must use electronic relay judging. Our RJPs exceed NCAA standards; in fact, only RJPs from Colorado Time Systems have been used in the NCAA Division I men's and women's finals.

Start reaction time on every start, the RJP senses when the swimmer leaves the block and compares the time to the start impulse from the starting system with 1/100th of a second accuracy. Start reaction times can then be displayed on the scoreboard, with a CTS System 6 sports timer, at the beginning of the race.

Elegantly engineered

Both the top and the leading edge of the RJP are sensitive to the swimmer’s departure. Extensive research and elegant engineering allow the Colorado Time Systems' RJP to decipher between weight shifts and when a swimmer actually leaves the platform.
