And - don't sit up when you cross the line! It invariably blocks the number for both the camera and the judges doing scoring.

I spent the day on Saturday staring at a computer screen and typing everyone's number as they crossed the line every lap. It's not that difficult of a job, except for when numbers aren't correctly placed. Then it becomes really difficult.

As the camera person is recording every number, every lap, anything that makes us have to pause for even a couple of extra seconds to try to decipher really adds up. Please try to properly pin your number. You will make my job easier and all of the officials will be happier people. It also reduces mistakes and allows us to produce results faster and more accurately.
