Abstract
A disposable race bib timing device is provided including a thin, flexible planar sheet member having a front surface for displaying information, and a rear surface. A pair of RFID timing tags are provided on the rear surface of the flexible planar bib. The RFID timing tags are spaced a distance apart from one another and positioned in parallel in relation to one another. A thermal and moisture resistant layer of material is provided over the exposed outer surface of each RFID tag to prevent moisture and heat from the athlete from coming into contact with the RFID tag and interfering with the ability of the tag to communicate with the antenna of a corresponding timing system. A further waterproof layer of material may be positioned between each RFID tag and the race bib to prevent moisture from soaking through the bib into the RFID tag. A laminate material may be provided to cover the entire surface.
