NBL To Co-Develop RFID Scoring System
The NBL sent out a press release today stating that they had “executed a Letter of Intent to develop an automated registration and timing system for future NBL National and Regional events.”
This system makes use of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and is being dubbed the “3S1 BMX Management System”
You can read the balance of the release below, but BMXNEWS wanted to get a little more detail on the system itself. So we contacted J. Baumeister, president of Tenspeeds Production, which is NBL’s development partner on the project. J. agreed to an improptu appearance on our “Announcers Tower” Podcast.
