Race Bib Do's & Don'ts
What to do with your Race Bib?
Here are a few things to remember when pinning on that bib.
First, assume that some portion of the bib is being used to produce the finish results. This may be the Tear Tag at the bottom or a chip fastened somewhere to the bib. In either case, before you go bending the bib or tearing things off, be sure that it is okay to do so.
1. Wear bib somewhere on your front side (NEVER ON THE BACK). If you are being manually timed you may be viewed as a bandit at the finish. If being chip timed, and your chip does not read (they do not always read), then a camera (if being used to view any missed bibs) will never see your bib.
2. Pin it on so that the tear tag at bottom is not pinned. Assume that the tear tag is going to be pulled off when you get to the finish.
3. NEVER remove a Tear Tag from the bottom of a race bib. This may be part of the scoring system being used in a race to produce official results.
