ECF- and 4NCL-organised online events which are ECF-rated require participants to be ECF Supporters or ECF Members but I think it's possible other events may not. (So far as I can see, no stipulations for the rating of online events are given on the membership pages of the ECF website.)Roger de Coverly wrote: ↑Thu Feb 11, 2021 10:49 pmI thought they had already done this.

I wonder if the ECF are planning a specific category of "Online Member" for the 2021-2022 Season?Angus French wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 1:46 pmECF- and 4NCL-organised online events which are ECF-rated require participants to be ECF Supporters or ECF Members but I think it's possible other events may not.
