Generate and Assign Bib Numbers

As an Event Director, you can use the Generate Bib Numbers tool to generate bib numbers for all participants in your event in one of two formats:

• Simple Mode - assign bibs by category

• Complex Mode - assign bibs by series, specific sanctioned disciplines, gender, age range, or multiple categories.

You can assign bibs all at once or in batches. 

You can also manually edit individual bib numbers. Previously assigned bibs will stay assigned unless you edit individually or click Clear Bib Numbers.
