Bulk Assign Bib Numbers in 2Timer (Custom Sorting & Ranges)
Assigning bib numbers doesn’t have to be slow or manual. In this video, I walk through how to use 2Timer’s bulk bib reassignment tools to quickly and accurately assign bibs across your entire meet. We’ll cover both individual reassignment and the real power of bulk assignment. You’ll see how to order athletes using up to four levels of sorting, including team or affiliation, gender, last name, and first name. This makes it easy to create clean, logical bib sequences that match how your meet is organized.

How to Use Waves in 2Timer (Normalize Times & Split Results)
If you're running races with staggered starts, Waves in 2Timer are essential—but they’re more powerful than most people realize. In this video, I walk through how to use waves to: - Handle staggered starts (Wave 1, Wave 2, etc.) - Normalize times so later waves are scored fairly - Organize athletes into logical groups - Split results by wave instead of combining everyone into one set Waves aren’t just about start delays—they’re a flexible way to group athletes and control how results are calculated and displayed. Whether you're timing cross-country, road races, or large meets, this feature gives you cleaner results and greater control.
