NDWDave Jul 2021 10:30am, 21 Jul 2021 15,201 posts	Quote Pin 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	Quote Pin 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	Quote Pin 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	Quote Pin 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 10:43am, 21 Jul 2021 6,913 posts	Quote Pin FenlandRunner Also I guess that 'dibbing' would be frowned on in COVID-19 terms?
