If you are timing with pen & paper, it's often easiest to organize with a template.
There's no one perfect sheet for everyone - try a few options and see what works best.
There's a bunch of different templates here - each person and every event can benefit from different organization styles.
For full explanations and suggestions, see the ECCC MTB Season Plan document, or see the quick recommendations listed at the bottom of the page.
Generic Lap Timing Sheet v1Generic Lap Timing Sheet (v3)
Generic Lap Timing Sheet (v3)
This is an all-purpose timing sheet for lap races - it's actually based off Flyyn's timing sheet designed for timing road races and crits, and has been tweaked and improved a few times.
Consolidated Multiple Field Timing Sheet - Template.pdfConsolidated Multiple Field Scoring Sheet (v1)
Consolidated Multiple Field Scoring Sheet (v1)
It may not be for everyone or every situation, but this template is custom made for scoring ECCC MTB races, especially if you're doing secondary timing alongside CrossMgr.
(If you have under 26 riders per field), this template lets you jot down everyone who passes the line (in the top half), and then has space to sort out the fields in the bottom.
If you are acting as primary timing, this would not be my first recommendation - it may get cramped, and doesn't spill over well if you run out of room. But if having the entire race on a single page solves more issues than it creates, this may be the template for you.

Field Scoring SheetField Scoring Sheet (v1)
Field Scoring Sheet (v1)
Very similar to the Generic Lap Timing Sheet, but has a dedicated time column and (optional) lines to neatly list riders.
XC Wave Result SheetXC Wave Result Sheet (v1)
XC Wave Result Sheet (v1)
No lap columns, but space to list each finished rider by place for up to 3 fields in a race.
If you're compiling "the final results", this is a great way to summarize an entire XC wave.
Single Run Timing Sheets
Single Run Timing Sheets
Running a downhill, dual slalom, super-d, or some other event that doesn't have laps? Do you want to print a lot of pages?
The single run timing sheets are setup so they will line up reasonably well, so in a pinch you can hand calculate the results with a minimal amount of going back and forth between pages.

Recommendation: Consolidated Multiple Field Scoring Sheet v1
Recommendation: Consolidated Multiple Field Scoring Sheet v1
If someone else is already the primary timer for a race, and you're making sure you've got a rough sense for the race, the Consolidated Sheet condenses everything you need onto a single page - use the top section for capturing each rider that crosses the line, then when you get a minute, sort out the categories into fields on the bottom half.
Because the sheet is so condensed, you may run out of room. Consider our suggestions for Primary Timing if you can easily shuffle between multiple pages.

Recommendation - Generic Lap Timing Sheet + Field Scoring Sheets
Recommendation - Generic Lap Timing Sheet + Field Scoring Sheets
Dump all the riders into the generic lap timing sheet without focusing on categories, then sort out each field's specific lap data. Same idea as the consolidated field scoring sheet, just prevents you from running out of room.
Less Recommended - Generic Lap Timing Sheet + XC Wave Result Sheet
Less Recommended - Generic Lap Timing Sheet + XC Wave Result Sheet
If it's the end of the race and you haven't gotten a chance to sort out fields from the Generic Lap Timing Sheet, you might as well break out the XC Wave Result Sheet as you finalize each rider's time, and produce a single sheet of results.
You may still need to parse out some lap information mid-race from the Generic Lap Timing Sheet - it's very critical to know at a minimum what lap the leader of each field is on, so you can keep lap counters up to date and tell them when their race is over.

Recommendation - Generic Lap Timing Sheet or Field Scoring Sheet
Recommendation - Generic Lap Timing Sheet or Field Scoring Sheet
The generic lap timing sheet was designed to have everything you need for crits and short track. No need to sort out categories, it's right there in front of you!
The Generic Lap Timing Sheet is a little more spread out, and has some extra boxes to dump notes. It's Flyyn's first pick, but if the lines help, or you are planning to record a significant number of lap times, then the Field Scoring Sheet can be used in the same way.
