assignment of bib number
By default, Wiclax suggests the next bib number following the last one entered, starting from number 1. However, you are free to enter a different bib number if needed.
A competitor’s bib number can be modified at any time during the event.
If you enter a bib number that is already assigned to a competitor in the registration form, you will then be able to edit that competitor’s information.
Changing a bib number
In the case of a competitor already registered:
Click the Edit button to the right of the Bib number field in the registration form,
or use the context menu (right‑click) on the registrations grid.
Enter the new bib number in the window that opens, then click OK. If you enter a bib number that is already assigned, Wiclax will offer to shift the following (or previous) bib numbers in order to force the assignment of the new bib number.
Bib ranges
From the race definition list, you can specify a bib range associated with each race. In exceptional cases, this can be a combination of several ranges.
Wiclax uses these ranges when entering or importing a competitor: if their race is not explicitly specified at that time, it will be assigned automatically based on the bib number.
Real bib numbers
In situations where it is necessary to use identical bib series within the same event, you can use the concept of real bib numbers. The real bib number corresponds to the number as it appears on the athlete or their vehicle. It is contrasted with the technical bib number used in Wiclax as a unique identifier.
The real bib number does not have to be unique. Several competitors can be assigned the same real bib number. It is also not strictly numeric, which allows you to enter bibs such as 12A and 12B for two teammates, for example.
To use real bib numbers, simply enable the option:
Access: Event options :: Event data :: Real bib
The information can be entered in the registration form or directly in the grid by displaying the corresponding column.
It is possible to automate the entry of the real bib number based on the technical bib number. In the example below, bib 1001 will have real bib 1, bib 1002 will have real bib 2, and so on.
n printouts and exports, you can choose to output the technical bib and/or the real bib. By default, if only the technical bib is displayed in the grid, printing and export will replace it with the real bib.
In g‑live rankings, the real bib number takes precedence over the technical bib number.
Bib table
Access: Registrations :: Tools :: Bibs
The Bib table tool can be very helpful for assigning all bib numbers (for example, to easily identify used or unused ranges). The table can also be printed to serve as a check‑off sheet, for instance.
From the print preview, the data selection menu allows you to print the table with the fields of your choice (name, team, etc.).
Automatic assignment
Access: Registrations :: Add :: Assign bib numbers
The Bib assignment tool allows you to automatically assign bib numbers to registered competitors, regardless of their current numbers. To do this, you must define bib ranges that apply according to rules you specify.
For example, you can define a first rule with the condition “Category = ‘Junior’” and a bib range from 1 to 300, then a second rule with “Category = ‘Senior’” and a range from 301 to 500.
To be able to run the assignment, all competitors must be covered by one and only one rule, the bib ranges must be large enough, and they must not overlap.
