Geraint Parry Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hi, does anyone know the RPRA ruling on clock checking? Do the clocks have to be checked / struck on day of timing or can they be checked the following day? I can't find a RPRA ruling on this. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geraint Parry Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Dont think there is an actual RPRA rule but lot of clubs have rule stating that all clocks must be opened and checked on the day of timing Thanks Rose, someone asked me the question and I wasn't to sure. So thought i'd ask. With post on this site like the above , its a wonder people actually post questions on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony C Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Domestic rules cover. Its the norm that races are categorised, 1 day, 2 day, 3 day, 4 day depending on distance. Guess the bottom line is when the master timer is opened..... race over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony C Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I think Geraint meant if birds were timed in and the clocks werent opened Tony as you say should be club rule covering this Again domestic rules cover, I think ours is up until 10pm on last day of race.

Guest Vic Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Never ever heard, of any clock anywhere, being read the day after timing. I have timed pigeons very late from hard distance races over the years, but the clock was always read, on clocking in day, be it by tim or whatever, before the second day commenced. I have had other birds on the day, that arrived in my absence, whilst at the clocking station, but these were credited as second day birds. Some of you guys have a lot to learn, I guess,oops! nearly said GAS! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosslands1 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 just read the RPRA rules and then read them again no wonder we get arguments . its a bit like the post on pigeon chat on how to teach young birds to drink when they are in the basket 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest slugmonkey Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 ets clocks would be taken out of race mode when checked so you would end race at that point we have manually entered birds AFTER clocks were cracked the flyer has to call the sec and tell him bird # and time then secratary has to verify this against clock in training mode we have done this when returns were bad and first 50 positions were not filled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vic Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 So whats the ruling then Vic? Never ever heard of any clocks not being openned on winning day after timing an arrival, Have You? (Unless not presented) If so! something is out of order, surely? I'll get these bloody smilies back yet! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIGEON_MAN Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I am sure the Unikon has a 'Race progress' mode whereby you can get a print out and then continue with the race still active You are correct ther Mick,if you have a pocket clock you take that to the club to have a race progress report printed off,while you are away any birds that may have arrived will be clocked in on your loft clock then when you get back just drop the pocket clock back in and it will load up the later birds.

pjc Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I thought the norm was to open the clock on the day of clocking and if the members wanted to clcok on day 2 or 3 then the clock could be reset! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIGEON_MAN Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 It is you would have reset lot of our races are open for couple of days close of race goes down to ypm Not sure about what would happen with ets but wont make lot of difference in our club with the internationals because the rules we are racing under says we still got to time in the rubbers Sorry this might be a bit off the original posting but was interested in what you wrote Rose,is this the BICC, as it seems that they may be preventing members from using the ETS which is against RPRA rules.

pjc Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 what i meant Rose is i thought that if a member clocked on the first day and wanted to use the clock for day 2/3 he would have to have his clock opened on day 1 and could then have it reset for any more birds. Ifa member hasn't clocked he wouldn't need a reset. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest slugmonkey Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I guess I am missing the point the electronic clock will run until you stop it but I don't know why on a 3 day race you would stop it on the 2nd day any way in our club if its a 3 day race we crack clocks on day 4 the only races we have problems with are the ones where we don't get birds in race time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
