A feature will be added to the results manager which gives you the possibility to choose which month you want to register results for. Results shot in December can then be registered for November, but only one result per competitor as before. Effectively the competition months will not be changed, but registration will be more flexible.
We will in this way fight the corona pandemic and allow competitors to participate in smaller groups and/or individually to reduce risk of infection. This means that the rule regarding five competitors from at least three clubs will be ineffective until further notice.
