Once again we find out how much better things are in the SE region.  Being a finish line timer this weekend, I will try to do better but since Truman thinks we are not good timers, I guess I am bound to make mistakes as usual.........................lol..................mb

Then you don't have good timers and yes you are bound to have mistakes.
In the SE there are three timers all in communications. The in timer
(who can sometimes serve as the out timer depending on the ride layout),
the out timer and the pulse timer. The pulse timer gives the pulse taker
the official time to put on the card. They are the people responsible
for filling in the times on the cards. However, if there is a
discrepancy they go back to their master list. A rider is released to go
back on the trail from the out timers list not his or her ride card.  
The timers maintain the "official time" - that's their job and they do
it quite well in the SE.
