WHAT ARE WE TIMING?
Elapsed Time
The most common is total elapsed time, starting at Zero
and stopping at the Finish for the event. One run of the
event gets one time. Example: A race Starting at Point
A and Finishing at Point B. Or, once around a course
from a Start point back to Finish at the same point.
Timing can start at Zero and count up, or count down to
Zero from a pre-set time.
