Event → Bibs is the bib (plate) manager. Each row is a registration; the Bib number column is the plate assigned to that rider for that race. Bibs

​
Bib source per race

Each race has a bib source that controls where the rider’s plate comes from on race day:
  • Manual only — use the plate assigned in this event (race or event scope).
  • Series only — use the plate from the series the race belongs to (see Series plates).
  • Manual, fall back to series — prefer the race/event plate; if none, use the series plate.
Change the source from the Race source dropdown above each race’s rows.

​
Auto-assign

Click Auto-assign. You choose:
  • Start number — first plate to hand out (default 1).
  • Race scope — apply to a specific race, or to all races in the event.
  • One plate per rider, used across every race they’ve entered — or a separate plate per race entry. One per rider is what most events want.
  • Sequential (1, 2, 3…) or random numbering.
The action only fills empty slots; existing assignments are preserved. Run it again after late registrations to top up.

​
Manual assign

Click a row’s plate cell to type a number in by hand. You’ll also choose whether that number belongs to the rider for the whole event or just for that one race.

Plate requests

Riders who paid the replacement plate fee during registration appear here as plate requests — yellow rows flagged Needs new plate. Filter the page with Plate request: has request to see only those rows. Click the row to assign a new number; the request transitions to New plate assigned and the new plate propagates to the series if the race is series-scoped. See New-plate requests for the full workflow, including refunds.

Bibs are the only rider identity

Time2Bike identifies riders by bib number and nothing else. There’s no chip database to maintain, no transponder list to import, and nothing to reconcile before the race. If you time with an RFID pad, it works the same way: your reader tells Time2Bike a bib number, and Time2Bike looks it up here. Pairing a chip to a rider happens in your reader’s own software, not in Time2Bike. See Timing with an RFID pad.
