What is a ChampionChip?

A ChampionChip is a miniature transponder in a specially designed housing, marked with a unique identification number. The transponder is a waterproof glass capsule that contains a silicon chip and an energizing coil. The ChampionChip can be used under all weather conditions, wet and dry, cold and hot.

How to use a ChampionChip during events

• When you bring your personal chip to an event, make sure the organization knows the chip code. This is the 7-digit code, marked on the outside of the chip.
• Make sure no one else uses your personal chip, or the chip issued to you by the event organization.
• Make sure that you have only one chip in an event.
• Bear in mind: no chip, no ti me. Only athletes wearing a ChampionChip will be timed.
• In some countries the distributor offers chip/barcode labels with the personal chip. Use these labels on the entry form. This prevents errors during reading, writing, or typing the code by both the owner and the organization. When you register online, make sure the chip code is entered correctly.
• Chips issued by the event, should be returned after crossing the finish line, or sent to the event's office as soon as possible after the event. The event brochure or information package will include instructions for returning the ChampionChip.

Where can a ChampionChip be used?

The ChampionChip can be used in many active sports events. Thousands of event organizers around the world are using ChampionChip timing for running, triathlon, cycling and mountain biking, in-line skating and cross-country skiing. One chip can now be used in all these sports worldwide.

A personal yellow chip can be used all over the world, in almost any event ChampionChip time, independently of the chip concept used in the specific country or event (black, Single Use or blue). Make sure you give your chip code to the event organization. Never use two chips in one event.
Both the classic yellow design and the yellow logo chips with embedded event logos, are called yellow chips.

We cannot guarantee that all events using ChampionChip timing will accept personal yellow chips: the events make the final decision.
