🏁 Invisible ID for Races

One Pass for Registration, Bib, Check-In & Rewards

Replace paper forms, manual bib lookups, and scattered waivers with a single, secure, NFT-backed Race Pass. It registers the runner, holds waiver attestations, displays the official bib, supports QR/NFC check-in, and unlocks post-race rewards. Web2-friendly for everyday runners, fully Web3-ready for power users.

🎯 Overview

What is the Race Pass?

A soulbound (non-transferable) NFT minted to a runner’s Invisible ID wallet. It represents:

✅ Confirmed registration (name, division, distance)
✅ Waiver attestation (stored as a hash or verifiable credential)
✅ Bib number (auto-updates once assigned by timing)
✅ Check-in QR/NFC for packet pickup & corral control
✅ Perks (sponsor coupons, finisher badge, loyalty rewards)

Who uses it?

👟 Runners: simple signup (email/SMS ok), one pass for everything.
🧰 Organizers: roster, waivers, check-in, corral & merch—centralized.
⏱️ Timers: import/export CSV, assign bib/chip as usual. No workflow breaks.

Works alongside your existing registration links—adopt gradually or go all-in.

🧭 How It Works (End-to-End)

Sign Up — Runner signs in (email/SMS or wallet), chooses distance & options, accepts waiver, pays (card/crypto).
Mint Race Pass — A soulbound NFT is minted to the runner’s Invisible ID (ERC-6551-ready).
Roster CSV — Organizer exports/downloads CSV in the timer’s preferred column order.
Bib/Chip Assignment — Timer returns an assignment file; Pass metadata/bib is updated instantly.
Packet Pickup — Staff scan QR/NFC; pass shows green “Verified” with name, bib, corral, merch.
Race Day — Corrals check via pass, on-the-spot edits logged, timing proceeds as usual.
Results — After results, mint Finisher Badge with official time/place & link to results page.

🔐 Identity

Invisible ID binds the pass to the person. Optional biometric levels available for elite or security-sensitive events.

🧾 Waiver

Store a hash/VC attestation, not raw PII, preserving privacy while proving acceptance.

♻️ Lifecycle

Post-race, passes remain as proof of participation and unlock future loyalty perks.

🔄 Registration Flows

Web2-Friendly (Default)

Email/SMS login → custodial wallet auto-created
Pay with card (Stripe/PayPal)
Pass minted automatically; runner receives link & QR

Web3-Ready (Optional)

Connect wallet (Polygon) & mint
Pay with crypto or promo code
Pass lives in the user’s wallet (or token-bound account)

🎫 Bib & Chip Assignment

Mode A — Timer Assigns

Export pre-race CSV (no bib). Timer returns a bib/chip assignment file. Organizer uploads it → passes update with official bibs.

Mode B — Organizer Assigns

Assign bibs inside the dashboard (ranges per distance/corral). Export final CSV to timer.

Either mode preserves the timer’s existing scoring workflow.

✅ Check-In & Packet Pickup

What Staff See

Runner name + bib + corral + distance
Waiver ✔ / ✖, age on race, merch size
Green “Verified” if wallet proves ownership

How It Verifies

QR/NFC opens a secure page that checks pass ID + wallet signature or session. No blockchain knowledge required for volunteers.

🔗 Integrations

Registration Sites

Keep your existing links live. We can mint Race Passes for those registrants automatically using their email (custodial wallets), or accept all registrations directly on Invisible ID.

Timing Partners

Provide a CSV in their preferred format. If they assign bib/chip, upload their return file to auto-update every pass.

Results

Link the Finisher Badge to the public results page and embed chip time, pace, rank, and age-group place into the badge attributes.

🔒 Privacy & Compliance

Minimal on-chain data: we store references/hashes; PII lives off-chain, encrypted.
Consent & revocation: granular consent for marketing; easy opt-out & data deletion workflow.
Waiver proofs: verifiable without exposing personal details.
Emergency info: visible to staff during the event; hidden otherwise.

🏅 Finisher Badges & Rewards

Finisher Badge

Automatically minted post-race with official chip time and rank. Great for social sharing and perennial leaderboards.

Sponsor Perks

Attach coupons or limited-time offers directly to the pass—redeemable by QR at partner locations. Track redemptions and ROI.

❓ FAQ

Do runners need crypto?

No. Email/SMS login creates a secure custodial wallet. Web3 is optional.

Can we still use our timer?

Yes. We export/import CSV in whichever column order your timer prefers.

What if a bib is transferred?

Admins can unlock a pass to reassign it under event policy, then relock to keep it soulbound.

What about race-day registrations?

Scan a QR at the tent to mint & pay in minutes. The pass immediately shows a valid bib for packet pickup.
