Definition
The official identifying number assigned to an athlete, bicycle or other competition equipment. In regulated competition, the exact authority, procedure and consequence attached to this term come from the current rules of the governing body and the event’s published regulations; similar wording can carry different procedural meaning across sports.
Practical use
Always apply the current rulebook of the governing body and the specific event; local race instructions can add operational requirements. For an actual race decision, use the current event rulebook and official instructions rather than treating a glossary definition as the controlling rule.
