Snowboarding includes multiple disciplines, each with specific timing requirements<\/b>. For Parallel Giant Slalom (PGS)<\/b>, Snowboard Cross (SBX)<\/b>, Slalom<\/b>, and Giant Slalom, Microgate provides FIS-certified<\/b> systems based on the ProSeries<\/b> line and ALGE<\/b> start gates. Even in Freestyle disciplines, where timing complements style judging, our solutions ensure reliable and precise measurements.
Developed together with athletes, organizers, and timekeepers, Microgate systems guarantee operational reliability, precision, and flexibility for every level of competition, from local events to international races. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

For PGS, Microgate offers FIS-certified<\/strong> systems with automatic start gates, finish photocells, and timers with dedicated parallel-race programs. SBX configurations integrate photo-finish<\/strong> systems for close finishes, while Slalom and Giant Slalom follow alpine skiing standards. The entire range is designed to guarantee constant precision and maximum reliability even in extreme weather conditions. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\tContact Us \n\t<\/a>\t\t\n<\/div>\n

For Parallel Giant Slalom<\/strong>, the system uses ReiPRO<\/strong> or RTpro FIS-certified timers with GPS synchronization. Qualification runs are managed with HiStart<\/strong> start gates and HiSens<\/strong> photocells, while knockout phases integrate ALGE<\/strong> start gates and dual HiSens<\/strong> photocells to determine winners on red and blue courses. The dedicated parallel-race software ensures simple operation and compatibility with the most widely used ranking software. <\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

For Snowboard Cross, the system manages qualification rounds using the HiStart gate, HiSens photocells, and ReiPRO or RTpro GPS-synchronized timers. In knockout phases, ALGE start gates and FinishLynx photo-finish systems provide precise finish order detection. The configuration guarantees FIS certification, operational simplicity, and reliability even in difficult weather conditions. <\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

For Slalom and Giant Slalom<\/strong>, the system follows alpine skiing standards and is based on the FIS-certified<\/strong> ReiPRO<\/strong> timer with GPS synchronization, HiStart<\/strong> start gate, and HiSens<\/strong> photocells. Audio communication is managed via cable with amplifiers and headsets. The software handles single starts, BIBO rule calculations, rankings, and race reports required for FIS Timing Reports<\/strong>. RTpro<\/strong> can be used as backup. <\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

In Freestyle<\/strong> competitions, rankings are primarily based on judges\u2019 style evaluations, while timing is used for run duration and speed measurements. For speed traps, two wireless HiSens<\/strong> photocells connect directly to MicroTAB<\/strong> or MicroGRAPH<\/strong> display boards, showing live data instantly to spectators. The solution eliminates cabling and reduces the need for dedicated timing operators. <\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
