Important Update Regarding Dolphin Timing System, effective 31 October 2020:

Clark Hammond, Chair of the Rules and Regulations Committee, issued a waiver for the Dolphin Timing System in its semi-automatic mode (electronic start/manual stop) through August 31, 2021. The Manual Synchronized Start/Manual Stop is not approved as a semi-automatic system, but the manual start/stop is considered similar to traditional stop watches and is acceptable for that use.

Please contact the PNS Officials Committee Chair, John Gagliardo, at [email protected] if you need a copy of the waiver letter.
