BibTag technology – the best-in-class in sports timing
MYLAPS, founded in 1982, is the inventor of automatic sports timing and continues to develop technology that is used all over the world, from the Olympics, major marathons, and NASCAR to countless local races. To offer top-tier timing services, MCM will use BibTag technology for their mass running events. This is the standard timing system for mass events with affordable chips and the highest read-rates in the industry.
The latest innovation, the BibTag Smart Decoder was developed to make the life of timers easier, with its lightweight, user-friendly interface and optimal performance. The MYLAPS ThinTag, 75% thinner than standard tags, reduces waste and shipping space, contributing to lower carbon emissions.
