A Tamper-Evident Ledger for Certifying Amateur Athletics Records
A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities describes the Split Ledger, a commit-and-reveal timekeeping protocol deployed across nineteen amateur athletics clubs for a full season, reporting a fall in the disputed-claim rate from a season average of 4.4% to 0.6% alongside the district association's decision to require a ledger-certified time behind every personal-best or age-grade claim and to bar a certified result from ever being reopened.
