Alge’s SF3 Automatic Timer is a unique self-managed timing solution, optionally employing coins or tokens at the Start as a means of controlling access to the timing system. The SF3 is an excellent way to entice skiers or snowboarders into competing with one another. The system’s sheer simplicity, employing one-way cables that prevent mis-connections, makes it a ideal means of encouraging competition, promoting your ski area, earning revenue on your investment, or hosting special events.
