Somebody turns up on the morning, pays cash at the tent, and needs a number. You don’t have to send them through registration, and you don’t need signal. From the timing screen: More actions → Add riders.
!!-IMAGE-NEEDED-!! — The Add riders panel with a bib, name, and team filled in.

​
What you enter

They appear on the roster immediately and can be timed like anybody else.
This works offline. Rider added at a trailhead with no bars will sync up with everything else when you get signal back. It’s designed for exactly the moment you can’t reach a registration page.

​
What it doesn’t do

Adding a rider here puts them in the race, not through registration. It doesn’t:
  • Take payment.
  • Collect a waiver signature.
  • Ask your custom questions.
  • Create a Time2Bike account for them.
So it’s the right tool for a rider you’re handling on paper at the tent, and the wrong tool for someone who should have registered properly.
Whatever your event needs for insurance — a signed waiver, a day licence, an emergency contact — collect it on paper before you hand over a number. The timing screen doesn’t ask for any of it.
If you’d rather they went through the full flow, use manual entry on the registrations page instead. That takes payment, waivers, and questions properly — but it needs a connection.

​
Who can do it

Organization members can always add riders. It’s also the one administrative action a volunteer link can be given, because an assistant coach or a registration volunteer on a borrowed phone is often exactly the person who needs to enter a drop-in. Everything else in More actions stays organization-members-only.

​
Cleaning up afterwards

Riders added this way show in your results like everyone else. If you took money from them, record it separately — the timing screen isn’t a till, and nothing you enter here reaches your Stripe account.
