When a series allows plate re-use, riders who need a new plate pay a configurable replacement fee at registration. Each such registration shows up as a plate request on the Bibs page.

Where requests appear

Open Event → Bibs. Rows with a pending request are flagged with a Needs new plate pill and a yellow background. Filter the page to Plate request: has request to see only those rows.

Request statuses

StatusMeaning
Needs new plate (requested)Rider paid the fee. You haven’t assigned a number yet.
Pending assignmentYou’ve started working on it but haven’t committed a number.
New plate assignedYou’ve assigned a number; the rider can race.
Cancelled (accidental)Rider toggled the request off, e.g. an org admin reversed it. No refund.
RefundedYou issued a refund for the replacement fee.

Assign a new plate

Click the row, enter the plate number, and save. The action goes through the plate-request endpoint, which:
  1. Sets the request status to assigned.
  2. Writes a history entry on the assignment.
  3. Propagates the new plate to the matching series plate (if the race’s bibSource is series or series_then_manual).

Refunding a request

If you can’t fulfill the request (e.g. you cancelled the race, or the rider transferred out), click Refund on the row. The replacement-fee amount is refunded through Stripe. You can add a note that’s stored on the audit log. Only the replacement-fee portion is refunded — the rest of the registration is untouched.
