The National Pool Complex in Tal-Qroqq was recently enhanced by a state-of-the-art electronic scoreboard supplied to the Aquatic Sports Association by Alternative Technologies Ltd, local suppliers and installers of Swiss Timing sports timing equipment.

The scoreboard was designed with specifications catering for local climate conditions and was installed under the supervision of Swiss Timing engineers.

It has since been used to run the full Fisec International Swim meeting, the National Swimming Championship and the Waterpolo Summer National Championships, among others.

The scoreboard replaced the older Swiss Timing scoreboard, which had successfully served its purpose for 19 years.

The new scoreboard gives more information during waterpolo games and swimming meetings, thus enhancing spectator participation. The brightness of (NIT) 4500 cd/m2 ensures crystal-clear viewing up to 100 metres, while the horizontal/vertical view-ing angle of 140o/60o ensures that spectators on both sides of the pool can easily view data on the scoreboard.
