Precision Time
Has Gold Medal Performance In
Greece...
"The Precision Time
System worked flawlessly during the entire Olympics" said president Mike
Costabile. "We didn't have one operational problem in 84 games, and our
device was well received by the participating teams and the officials.
Lubomir Kotleba of FIBA was very pleased with our system, and felt we
had a positive impact on all the games."
After using the Precision Time
System in the World Championships in 2002, and now in the 2004 Olympics,
FIBA has written Precision Time into their rulebook. Beginning September
1st, "a whistle-controlled time system shall be used" in all Level I and Level
II FIBA world championship competition.
"Precision Time Systems would
especially like to thank FIBA for their support, and their courteous reception
in Athens. I would also like to thank Jerry Tyson for all his help during the
games" said Mr. Costabile. "The Olympics was a very positive experience
for us, and we look forward to the 2008 games in
Beijing."
