How do I wear my bib, and what if I lose it?

• Each athlete gets one bib only, showing the athlete's name and number.
• Wear it on the front of the uniform, firmly attached with no fewer than four pins. The whole bib, including sponsorship information, must be visible at all times and no part may be folded under the uniform.
• Collect your bib from your team manager (Masters athletes from the Masters Team Manager). UniSport athletes entered directly collect theirs from the TIC.
• If you lose your bib, your team manager collects a replacement from the TIC. A new bib costs $20.
• Australian Athletics enforces World Athletics rules TR 5.9 and TR 5.11, which make an athlete liable to disqualification for tampering with the competition bib in any way.
