ELECTRONIC SYSTEM OPERATORS
General desciption
For Intermediate to Advanced Officials. Working with the electronic timing interface or the recording interface on computer to ensure correct recording of competition results. Positions include Recorder / Scorer, Chief Finish Judge (CFJ), Quantum Operator, or other as needed.
"Electronics" positions are broken into a few key roles: the Chair (lead role), Timing Operator (Quantum), Recorder-Scorer (Hytek), and Chief Finish Judge. These positions work closely with the meet referee to ensure accurate results for the meet. There are very limited Electronics positions at a competition, and therefore It is expected that Electronics volunteers learn all of the positions over time to encourage more redundancy of knowledge throughout this crucial operation of a swim meet.
