The National Bicycle League and Columbus-based TenSpeeds Production, Inc. announced today that they have executed a Letter of Intent to develop an automated registration and timing system for future NBL National and Regional events. The RFID timing system will be tested during practice for the President’s Cup and Christmas Classic on December 26th. TenSpeeds’ 3S1 BMX Management system is a completely integrated race management system, combining registration, race management, photo finish, and results into one package.
The 3S1 BMX Management System is the first and only system to use both RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and video to automatically track each racer and instantly give complete and accurate results.
To find out more information about the Christmas Classic, including schedules and times, visit the NBL website at www.nbl.org.
