I'm guessing that there is some problem with getting a consistent start because of different heights of the player (i.e. what part of the body triggers the start). However, I am sure they have that figured out in the track and field world. It seems stupid relying on the reflexes of some schmo sitting at the starting line to start the clock, especially when you consider the difference in money that a tenth of a second could mean.
