These settings decide how the system handles bib numbers.

Assigning Bib Numbers

By default, the highest bib number +1 will be proposed when entering a new participant. However, there are two more options: First free bib number proposes the smallest unused bib number and No Proposal forces you to enter a bib number manually before entering the participant's data in the Participants Window.

If you do not want to allow certain bib numbers, enter these in the input box Exclude Bib Numbers. Then, these will not be proposed.

Bib Ranges

A Bib Range assigns a certain range of bib numbers to one contest. Having defined bib ranges, there are two options:

1. After entering a bib number for a new record in the Participants Window, the contest according to the bib range settings will be selected. For this option select Use bib ranges to propose contest.
2. After selecting a contest for a new participant in the Participants Window, a bib number from the bib range will be assigned to the participant. Therefore select the option Use bib ranges to propose bib number.
3. You can also temporarily ignore bib ranges.

Also, you can define different start times per bib range.

Bib Number Visualisation

The bib number visualisation creates a table with all bib numbers available for each Contest according to the Bib Ranges setup. The bib numbers may be shown in 3 different colours.

White - The bib number is already assigned
Green - The bib number is not assigned yet
Red - The bib number is assigned but the participants Contest does not match the Bib Ranges set
