  • What if for some reason the starting system doesn't activate in a heat with a potential record? Would that not be a good case for having the third backup timer? Or, let's say your timing system only has 2 buttons per lane and the swimmer misses the pad and the two button times are far apart - so you need to rule one of the button times out. The watch times, presumably, tell the story as to which button time is good and which is bad. Let's say you had a third watch on the lane. If the one person with the bad button time was also off with the watch, at least you have that middle watch time to use. Or do you then use the one button time and apply a horizontal or vertical correction to come up with a pad time? If the latter is the case where you are permitted to use just one button time than it is even rarer to need the 3 watches (except to give the timing judge some peace of mind that the one button time is legit). My head hurts thinking about this...
