This is true.

This is true, too. But - they still check.
I got in trouble in St Louis (Gateway) this year, even though they have an app for timeslips, after ripping a string of 9.80 passes with no cage. The starting line official is the one that noticed I didn't have the proper personal protection (ie, no gloves, and no neck collar) for 9 second ETs, and notified the race officials.
I was able to get it slowed down to 10 flat and was ok at that point.
