chunkywizard 31 Aug 8:02pm, 31 Aug 2024 17,494 posts	0 chunkywizard If you stagger the start times you need 3 sets of timers, 3 funnels and a way to amalgamate the 3 sets of results! There was no good solution to avoid the chaos unless they could have foreseen 6000 people coming and then you have more tokens and a funnel 3 times the size.
Lip Gloss 31 Aug 8:26pm, 31 Aug 2024 77,302 posts	0 Lip Gloss All the posts I’ve seen from people is that it was a great atmosphere and very well organised even though the wait to get scanned etc was huge. I don’t suppose many were there to get a decent time but there just to have a good time.

Shortcut Cam 31 Aug 11:16pm, 31 Aug 2024 1,778 posts	0 Shortcut Cam They shouldn’t give times, just acknowledge you were there. Looks spectacular
Metro_Nome 31 Aug 11:18pm, 31 Aug 2024 7,617 posts	0 Metro_Nome by the end they weren’t giving out any kind of position, just scanning barcodes, so something like that may yet happen
paulcook 31 Aug 11:22pm, 31 Aug 2024 6,326 posts	0 paulcook No idea how you even contemplate timing that SC. Impressive volunteering all round.
Lip Gloss 31 Aug 11:27pm, 31 Aug 2024 77,311 posts	0 Lip Gloss As long as they registered I was there I wouldn’t give a stuff about a time. It could also mean the next time (if there was one) you would probably get a course PB
