Ensure every participant in your event gets a globally unique BIB number, regardless of their ticket type.
What Is Global BIB Numbering?
By default, BIB numbers are assigned per ticket type with separate ranges. Global BIB numbering creates a single sequential pool for the entire event, so no two participants ever share a number — even across different ticket types.
How to Enable
- Go to your Organizer Dashboard
- Click "Manage" on the event
- Navigate to "BIB Numbers" in the sidebar
- Toggle on "Unique BIBs across all ticket types"
- The setting is saved immediately
How It Works
- Every new paid registration receives the next available BIB from the event-wide counter
- New ticket types added later automatically participate in the same pool
- Full Reassignment pools ALL registrations and assigns sequentially from 1
- Delivery-first priority still works — postal orders get the lowest BIBs
- Cross-type collisions become impossible
Example
For an event with 1,577 entries across three ticket types and 200 delivery orders:
- BIBs 1–200: Postal delivery participants (all ticket types)
- BIBs 201–1,577: Collection / on-site participants
- Next purchase gets BIB 1,578 automatically
Important Notes
- Enabling global mode does not automatically reassign existing BIBs — use "Full Reassign All" to re-sequence
- Turning it off reverts to per-ticket-type ranges for future assignments only
- Individual BIB editing and the audit trail are unchanged
