Introduction
In some scenarios, you may find it necessary to offset Bibs and Chips within your event without pre-assigning bibs so you can take advantage of dynamic bib assignment. For example, Bib 1 may need to correspond to Tag 1000 if you are using leftover tags for an event. You can easily do this in CT Live through the Bib Tag Map.
In the past, tags could be imported separately directly via import. This is done differently in the new import tool and is instead done via this Bib Tag map to ensure that Bib-Tag maps stay in lockstep.
Bib and Tag Offset File
- Create a CSV file that contains a list of all bib and tag assignments for your event. This file should have two columns, one titled "Bib" and another titled "Tag."
- Once you are ready to import your map, navigate to Pickup page and the section titled "Bib and Tag Settings."
- In the Bib and Tag settings page, scroll down and switch off "Bib and Tag Matching" - this will allow the additional field to show for you to import Bib Tag Offset file.
- Click "Upload Bib Tag Map". This will open File Explorer and allow you to select your file saved on your computer.
- The system will allow you to map the headers of the columns - if the columns are named accordingly Bib and Tag, it will autodetect what they should be mapped to.
- Hit "Apply & Upload" and this will Upload and Apply this offset of Bibs and Tags to corresponding Bibs that are in the system or will later be entered into the system.
- If you need to change the Offset of any tags, this can be manually done in our system on the Bib Tag Map page. If changes are made here, all that needs to be done is to hit "Re-Apply Bib Tag Map."
