The record being attempted
• The date and location of the attempt
• Full details of how the time was measured
• The exact timing of the attempt, as per your Specific Guidelines.
On occasions where the independent witness is acting as a timekeeper one statement will suffice but must include the details required for both the independent witness statement and the timekeeper statement.
If you are unsure whether you are required to submit timekeepers’ statements, please contact your Records Manager.
Who would qualify as a timekeeper?
A timekeeper for a record attempt should have experience keeping time. A prime example of this is someone from a local athletics club. Further examples would be sporting referees, sports coaches and PE teachers.
