# Set or change bib numbers

## Give a distance its own bib number range, or change one participant's bib number.

### Good to know

- Participants get bib numbers automatically, starting at 1, unless you set a series.
- A series is set per distance. Give each distance its own range (for example 101–200 and 201–300) so numbers never overlap.
- **Save and Apply** renumbers everyone already registered in the distance, including bib numbers you changed by hand. Make single changes last.
- Strategy types: **Default (Sequential)**, **Distance Series**, **Class Series** (one range per class) and **Wave Series** (one range per wave).

### Set a bib number series for a distance

1\. Log in to Pace Admin and open your race.

2\. Open the distance under **Distances** to see its start list.

3\. Click **More** (top right) and choose **Bib Number Series**.

4\. Under **Strategy Type**, choose **Distance Series**. Fill in **Bib Start** and **Bib End** and click **Save and Apply**. For **Class Series** or **Wave Series**, fill in a start and end number for each class or wave.

5\. Wait until the bib numbers are applied. The start list now shows the new numbers.

### Tips

- **Wave Series** only works if the distance has waves. Otherwise it shows "No waves available".
