This enables all racing options.

Manage bibs at sub-activities level?

Checkbox

Option to manage bibs at the sub-activity level (and so no longer manage them at the activity level).

Immediate bib assignment?

Checkbox

Option to enable immediate bib assignment during enrollment.

 

This feature is not available for online registrants until the race organizer has run an initial group creation. After this, you can run the batch bib assignment, which establishes a series of bib numbers. All subsequent registrants (including online registrants) can have their bib assignments at the time of registration.

 

If you disable this setting and there are registrants waiting to be batch bib assigned, then the system displays a warning that a batch bib assignment should be run. This is to honor the participants who registered first.

 

Note: If this setting is disabled, only staff whose profiles are assigned the permission to manually change bib numbers are able to assign bib numbers.

Enter expected finish time?

Checkbox

Option to enable the minimum and maximum expected finish time dropdown lists.

 

This enables participants to include their expected finish times during the registration process.

Manage bib groups by number of participants?

Checkbox

Option to manage bib groups by the number of participants.

 

Select this checkbox to create groups by the number of participants. Enter the maximum number of participants for the activity groups. ACTIVE Net then calculates the maximum expected finish time based on the registration up to this point, as well as the number of expected participants entered.

 

Disable this option to create groups by the expected finish time. Enter a maximum expected finish time for the activity groups. The maximum number of participants for the groups is only restricted by the bib numbers available.
