Här är ett regelutdrag som anger på vilka tider DM-placeringarna baseras:
Gun Time is the official
time.
All awards are based on GUN TIME – the time from the start of the race (gun)
to when you cross the finish line as per IAAF, AIMS and International Awards standards.
Excerpt from the IAAF Road
Race Handbook - Pg 196 RULE 240
Note: For road races and road walking events, the official time will be the time
elapsed between the start gun and the athlete reaching the finish line. However,
if an athlete crosses the start line after the start gun, his time elapsed
between the start and finish line can be made known to the athlete but will not
be considered as official time. The order in which athletes reach the finish
line will be considered as the official finish position. 196 RULE 240
The Chip timing is provided for personal interest.
