Powered by 9Pic BibTrack 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. [Get Started](https://admin.9pic.ai/login) [See How It Works](#features) <200ms BIB Search Time <200ms Fuzzy Name Search Unlimited Participants A-Z + 0-9 Alphanumeric OCR No-Biometrics by Default ------------------------ BibTrack works without face biometrics. Participants can search by BIB or name, making it ideal for privacy-sensitive events and compliance-first setups. 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 --------------------------- 1 ### Search by BIB or Name Participants type their BIB, partial BIB, or name into the event gallery search. 2 ### OCR + Mapping + Fuzzy Match BibTrack OCR indexes visible BIBs (including letters). Optional Name ↔ BIB mapping enables fast fuzzy name lookup. 3 ### 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. Monetize matched photos with [9Pic Checkout](/products/checkout/) (Enterprise plan), 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 -------------------------- Can participants search by name, not just BIB? Yes. Organisers can add a **Name ↔ BIB mapping** so participants can search by name (with fuzzy matching) and land on the right bib results. Do you support partial BIB search? 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**. What events does BibTrack support? Any event where humans can see an identifier: marathons, cycling, triathlons, school athletics, obstacle races, and motorsports with number plates/jersey numbers. Do you support alphanumeric BIB formats? Yes. BibTrack OCR supports letters + numbers, which helps when your event uses waves, categories, or different series (e.g. **A12**, **R-205**). How does BibTrack work with 9Pic Certify and FaceFind? 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.
