ABOUT US

On The Mark Timing

To the right are images showing the progression of camera technology we have used, beginning with the Black and White camera, SCSI technology, using a Macintosh computer. Things have changed!

On The Mark Timing aims to ease your meet management stress by providing well trained operators, well maintained equipment and a willingness to listen so you have the event that meets your expectations.

Started in 1996 by two high school track coaches who knew the importance of track meet organization. The FinishLynx timing system was in its beginning stages. Digital technology was the future and a logical transition from AccuTrack film photo finish.

We have come a long way from our one camera (black & white), one computer system with SCSI technology. We now supply 2 independent color (primary & backup) FinishLynx cameras with integrated data management software, wind guage, digital running time clock and/or 1 meter x 2 meter video board.

Our vision is to provide, not only, a reliable and accurate timing service, but an information system that allows interested spectators, anywhere, to view result as the meet proceeds. We want to hear meet management say, "We had no worries about the timing and results".

From our home in central Ohio we have provided timing and data management for all levels of track & field and cross country competitions throughout the Midwest. We have provided service for College, High School, USATF-JO, AAU, and the Hershey Youth Program. Our service provided timing for the NCAA III indoor championships in 2007, 2009-2011 and outdoor championships in 2011.

Please click the services button to see the equipment and read a description of how our system works. If you feel that we can assist you, please contact us. We want to make the meet managers job easier.

FinishLynx Timing

Fully Automatic Timing

×

The foundation of our business is reliable phototiming. Our reliability is backed by our quality equipment and the fact that we provide two, line scan, timing enabled, cameras as part of our timing service. Barring a complete breakdown we will provide an image and F. A. T. time for each race. The picture from each camera is saved for review if the need arises. We have an inventory of 6 timing enabled cameras providing flexibility when setting up finish lines. Championship meets often setup alternate finishlines or have a camera on each side of the finishline for an alternate view or to take advantage of wind conditions.

Data Management

Hy-Tek/MeetPro

Data management is a strong part of what we do. We use Hy-Tek or MeetPro. The FinishLynx software interfaces easily with both data programs. Entries are made easy using various online entry services. We have worked with TimerHub since 2014 to format our Hy-Tek Web results. In 2015 TimerHub developed a Live Scoreboard that allows fans to see the results as they happen on their mobile devices. Official results are posted within minutes of completion to our Web site to keep every fan informed.

Wind Gauges

Gill/FinishLynx

For outdoor meets we have automatic wind gauges from Gill and FinishLynx. This wind gauges are connected to the FinishLynx system and automatically imports the wind reading into the results. For field events we have a manual wind gauge that can be easily operated by an official.
