Out of morbid curiosity, did the blackout in NY state have any effect on nationals? (I see that the 400IM results are up, so they have power now.) Just curious.
Also, most timing systems (certainly all modern Colorado Timing System consoles) have battery backup built-in. The CTS 4000 and 5000 can actually run for several hours on 8 D-cell batteries. So as long as the batteries have charge in them, even if the lights go out, you should still get official time finishes from the timing system.
