Me either, but my question was what chip timing solves. Nothing, really. If elites want a stagger because a corral doesn't prevent jostling, then you run into the PLF concern of time trial versus race. Chips don't change anything about that--all they do is (a) monitor cheating and (b) provide non-elite runners starting back in the pack with a "real" time. But if you use chip time for all runners, then it becomes a time trial and no one knows who's really in the lead.
