Let Participants Search Photos by BIB or Name
BibTrack is the BIB recognition + lookup engine built for marathons, cycling, motorsports, and school athletics. Organisers can add Name ↔ BIB mapping so participants can search by name, while we keep partial BIB matching for fast action shots.
Marathon Runners Want Their Photos — But Can't Find Them
In a race with 10,000 runners and 100,000 photos, manual browsing fails. Participants remember their BIB — and many remember their name. Give them both, without slowing down search.
How BIB + Name Search Works
Search by BIB or Name
Participants type their BIB, partial BIB, or name into the event gallery search.
OCR + Mapping + Fuzzy Match
BibTrack OCR indexes visible BIBs (including letters). Optional Name ↔ BIB mapping enables fast fuzzy name lookup.
Get Every Matched Photo
From start line to finish line — participants see the complete set of matched photos instantly.
BibTrack Features
Built for Fast Action
Optimized for moving subjects — marathon pace, cycling speeds, sprint finishes, and track events.
Partial BIB Match
If the runner’s hand covers a digit, search still works. Example: BIB 1249 can be found by searching 124 or 249.
No Participant Limit
Built to scale from school meets to major races — without imposing participant caps on your event.
Name ↔ BIB Mapping
Organisers can upload a Name → BIB list so participants can search by name. Great for families and group registrations.
Fuzzy Name Search
Handles typos and partial names while staying fast. Typical search latency stays under 200ms.
Multi-Angle Detection
Reads BIBs from front, side, and angled perspectives. Works with chest and back numbers.
Alphanumeric BIBs
Advanced OCR reads letters + numbers (e.g. A12, R-205) for waves, series, categories, and custom race codes.
Timing Integration
Combine with timing data to show split times, finish times, and rankings alongside photos.
BibTrack + FaceFind + Certify (Complete Participant Journey)
Upload via 9pic Uplink, search via BibTrack (BIB + name), and add 9pic FaceFind for face-based lookup. Then use 9pic Certify to deliver certificates alongside photos — all in one event gallery.
Works Beyond Marathons
Cycling Events
When faces are covered by glasses/helmets, BIB plates and jersey numbers become the most reliable identifier.
Motorsports
Full-face helmets make face search hard. BibTrack works with rider numbers on bikes, suits, and plates.
School Athletics
Track meets, sports days, house events — parents can search by a child’s name or bib number.
Multi-Wave Races
Alphanumeric bibs help separate waves and categories (e.g. W1-, W2-, VIP series).
Photo Proofing & Verification
BibTrack complements FaceFind so organisers can cross-check identity across the full race journey.
“If Humans Can Read It…”
If the BIB is readable to the naked eye in a photo, BibTrack’s AI OCR is designed to read and index it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Organisers can add a Name ↔ BIB mapping so participants can search by name (with fuzzy matching) and land on the right bib results.
Yes. BibTrack supports partial matching for cases where digits are covered by hands, clothing, glare, or other runners. Example: searching 124 or 249 can still surface BIB 1249.
Any event where humans can see an identifier: marathons, cycling, triathlons, school athletics, obstacle races, and motorsports with number plates/jersey numbers.
Yes. BibTrack OCR supports letters + numbers, which helps when your event uses waves, categories, or different series (e.g. A12, R-205).
BibTrack gives number/name-based discovery, FaceFind adds face-based discovery, and 9pic Certify delivers certificates in the same event flow — so participants can find photos and claim certificates in one place.
