Look at mfg sources in rfid.org. Loads of info for off the shelf sports timers using rfid. If you would rather roll your own, TI has a number of products that can fit the bill; so does microchip but they only sell the transponders and you would have to roll your own readers using their app notes.

I have been tasked to investigate RFID Mat antennas for Sport event timing. Does anybody have any pointer to technical information for the construction of such antennas? Specifically for the 138Khz transponders I presume it's similar to PCB antennas, but I'm looking for some practical advice.
