PikaTimer: An OpenSource Race Timing Application

PikaTimer is a JavaFX based race timing application named after the American Pika that is often found at high altitudes; where the need for a simple, easy to use race timing application was born. Because at 14,000 ft, you want things to be simple.

The entire system is released under the GPLv3 Open Source license. PikaTimer is free to use, free to modify, free to redistribute per the GPLv3 license.
