NDWDave Jul 2021 10:30am, 21 Jul 2021 15,201 posts	0 NDWDave So what is a dibber then? I’ve got one at home to plant bulbs… I assume it is like a key/chip you need to check into some checkpoints?
FenlandRunner Jul 2021 10:36am, 21 Jul 2021 6,910 posts	0 FenlandRunner I thought that there wasn't a dibber this year? I thought they were using some GPS technology that has a 20-metre radius? But may have got that wrong.
Gromit Jul 2021 10:37am, 21 Jul 2021 1,658 posts	0 Gromit Orienteering uses them mainly ........ races i've run with non elctronic "dibbers" will have a complicated "hole punch" basically with different patterns on attached to a gate post etc somewhere and i'm assuming we punch our race number with the dibber to prove we've been to an unmanned CP (Hardmoors races use this system .......... but that could be total rubbish in this case
NDWDave Jul 2021 10:40am, 21 Jul 2021 15,202 posts	0 NDWDave I was reading race reports which mentioned dibbing but nothing in the race emails so it might not be relevant with the trackers. Centurion use the trackers with proximity rather than timing matts now I think for example
FenlandRunner Jul 2021 10:40am, 21 Jul 2021 6,911 posts	0 FenlandRunner I think we all have a tracker.
FenlandRunner Jul 2021 10:41am, 21 Jul 2021 6,912 posts	0 FenlandRunner This is the first year that they will have used a new company. Previously it was the company linked to SI Entires.
FenlandRunner Jul 2021 10:43am, 21 Jul 2021 6,913 posts	0 FenlandRunner Also I guess that 'dibbing' would be frowned on in COVID-19 terms?
Dave A Jul 2021 11:16am, 21 Jul 2021 23,094 posts	0 Dave A Dibbing shouldn’t be an issue for Covid. As long as you don’t lick the dibber or the dibber box thingymabob.
