Entries:

Using the entry system: https://www.e-nevezes.hu/en/esemeny/show/143

With the exception of the Open classes, all entrants must have a Hungarian Orienteering Federation competition licence (annual or daily). The issuing of a daily competition licence is automatic for those, who don’t have an annual licence. For having an annual HOF competition licence, you must belong to, and race for a member club of the Hungarian Orienteering Federation. The entry system controls the availability of the annual competition licence at the entry date. In case the competitior doesn’t have an annual competition license, the system automatically calculates and adds the daily license fee. In case the competitor applies for an annual license later than the entry for the competition, it is her/his own responsibility to amend the entry by using the “Recalculate” button of the entry system, resulting in the reduction of the entry fee.

M/W 21E entrants wishing to run for world ranking points (in the WRE) must also enter through IOF
