Bib number assignments are a critical aspect of managing any event seamlessly. Yet, all too often, incorrect or accidental reassignment of bib numbers can lead to confusion, data discrepancies, and challenges for both timers and event organizers. To address this issue, we’re excited to unveil our latest innovation designed to simplify your workflow and enhance accuracy—the Restricted Bib Pool feature. 

This powerful new tool provides timers and event organizers with greater control over bib assignments, ensuring data integrity and saving time in the process. Here’s how it works and why it’s a must-have for your next event:

1. Eliminate incorrect bib assignments and maintain data integrity 

The Restricted Bib Pool allows timers to designate specific bib numbers that cannot be automatically assigned, eliminating errors before they occur. Whether you’re reserving bibs for elite participants, VIP participants, or managing unique group needs, you can ensure your bib assignments remain as accurate as possible. With this safeguard, your event data stays clean, organized, and trusted by participants and stakeholders alike.

2. Save time and reduce frustration 

Reassigning bib numbers accidentally can happen in the busiest moments of a setup. But with the Restricted Bib Pool, restricted bib numbers are automatically protected from being assigned. This feature significantly reduces the risk of human error while improving efficiency, leaving you with fewer complications and more time to focus on delivering a smooth event experience. 

3. Complete control over your bib management 

Managing your restricted bib numbers has never been this straightforward. With the Restricted Bib Pool feature, you can:

  • Add or Remove Bibs: Quickly and easily adapt to event changes or last-minute requests. 
  • Annotate Bibs: Tag specific bib numbers with notes for context, making it easier to identify their purpose across your team. 
  • Customize Your Restricted Pool: Handle everything at your fingertips to meet the needs of your unique event.

This flexibility ensures that whether you’re managing a small local event or a large-scale international event, the Restricted Bib Pool feature empowers you to stay in complete control. 

Designed for timers and event organizers like you 

The Restricted Bib Pool feature was built with the challenges of timers and event organizers at its core. If you actively use the Automatic Bib Assignment tool, this is the perfect addition to make your workflow more precise and streamlined. Event organizers will also appreciate the added ability to customize and secure bib assignments ahead of event day, ensuring every participant is accounted for without the risk of reassignment mishaps. 

Whether you’re managing a multi-day cycling event, a high-stakes marathon, or a weekend 5K, this feature supports the accuracy and efficiency you need to make your event a success.
