GoChip Timing Chip #

To allow us to plan our rentals and ensure there are enough chips available for all customers, weekend rentals of GoChips are only available in multiples of 50. If you are purchasing GoChips, we can accomodate any quantity.

See here for more information about GoChip.

GoChip Activators #

Each point on course that you want to record chip times requires an activator. The start line requires an activator if you want to record chip start times, gun start races do not need an activator at the start.

Activator Weekend Rental includes the activator, timing loop, and one android phone. Phones are not included with season rentals or purchases.

Android Phone #

An android phone running the Zone4 GO app is required at each "live" timing point. If you do not need to collect the data in real time, or if you do not have a network connection at a timing point the phone at the next timing point can be used to read times from the previous points.

Remote Timing Support #

A dedicated Zone4 staff member is assigned to your event and is engaged in the lead up to your event and on race day.  Zone4 will work with your local on-site timers to train them in the required knowledge to hand out chips and deploy activators. Zone4 will take care of pre-race preparation of start list and timing setup in the software.  During race day, you are responsible for handing out chips, making changes to racer information, and setting up activators.  Zone4 staff will monitor race day data and be in communication with your local timer as needed. Remote Timing Support is strongly recommended for all first-time rental customers.

And of course, our support staff is available even if you aren't paying for remote timing – we just won't be proactively watching for problems or doing the setup for you.

Zone4 Race Timing Software #

If you're using both Zone4 Timing Software and Zone4 Registration, we offer a $0.50 disount on the registration fee. And you can opt to include the whole timing+registration fee as an extra system fee to your registrants on top of the entry fee, instead of paying it yourself.

See here for more information about Zone4 Timing Software.

Zone4 Online Registration #

Transaction fees vary based on your chosen merchant account provider. For most clubs, stripe offers the best deal. For organizations processing more than $50 000 in online payments per year we recommend Helcim.

GoChip Test Kit #

We encourage all first-time renters to contact us to book a test kit a few weeks before their event, available just for the cost of shipping. The test kit includes a few GoChips, an activator, a phone, and a timing loop and allows you to familiarize yourself with the system in a lower-stress environment than a real race.
