We use a transponder system for lap scoring, consisting of a wrist band which must be worn on the riders right wrist, as you come in at the end of each lap, you come into a lap scoring area, were you pass the wrist band across the reader, a light will flash indicating your lap has been scored, there are lap scoring marshalls to help.
