This is a new companion product that could be thought of as an intelligent announcer monitor. Features of the Toolbox include:
- It runs on a separate computer, or computers, while communicating instantly with the latest National/FIS software via a LAN (local area network).
- It could be on a computer right next to the person timing, or at the other end of a corporate network.
- It could be used for an announcer, as information screen, set up with a projector in a base lodge, or even broadcast on a resort wide TV system.
- No matter what the timing operator is doing in the National/FIS software, the Toolbox operator can look at timing data, competitor lists (sorted as they choose), detailed competitor information, or information about the race.
- Sorting options include an Automatic sort feature which will sort by name, bib number, start number, 1st run result, or combined result, depending on which data is set.
- Software requires a key and license, but may be tested without a key and license if an internet connection is available.

An important new update for Split Second was made available yesterday and is the first version to include the Kinder Kombi discipline. For people who already have it installed the system should automatically prompt you to update.
Full changes include:
- Added Kinder Kombi. This includes new fields for KK penalty, points and will pull KK points from the Canadian points list (KK points aren’t in the USSA points list [yet]).
- Corrected logic for selecting officials because it could get in a situation where they could no longer be selected.
- Added more space to the National race code to accommodate lengthened codes by Canada.
- For Canadian codex: if ‘NAT’ is entered as part of the code the ‘NAT’ prefix won’t be added when creating the XML.
Split Second software is available at: http://www.splitsecond.com/
