ReacTime False Start Detection System
ReacTime interfaces with FinishLynx results for seamless integration of athlete data. The individual Block Sensors can also be used as a reaction training system. Unlike some simpler systems, ReacTime has no contact pads and the system cannot be tricked or overloaded. The system is rugged and easy-to-use. The battery or AC powered blocks are weather-resistant and designed to withstand the tough demands of a year-round athletics environment.
We offer many ReacTime package variations, including 6-Lane Wired (RT6L), 8-Lane Wired (RT8L), ReacTime Training Packages, and many custom variations for both larger and smaller venues.

“In competitions held under Rules 1.1(a), (b), (c) and (f) and for any performances submitted for ratification as a World Record, the starting blocks shall be linked to an IAAF approved false start control apparatus. The Starter and/or an assigned Recaller shall wear headphones in order to clearly hear the acoustic signal emitted when the apparatus detects a false start (i.e. when reaction time is less than 100/1000ths of a second). As soon as the Starter and/or an assigned Recaller hears the acoustic signal, and if the gun is fired, there shall be a recall and the Starter shall immediately examine the reaction times on the false start control apparatus in order to confirm which athlete(s) is/are responsible for the false start. This system is strongly recommended for all other competitions.” –World Athletics Rule 161.2 (2010-11)
