2020 IOTA Honour Roll – Annual Listings
IOTA enthusiasts, if you have been planning to submit an application for IOTA, consider doing it now before the December / January rush.For those waiting for the very last QSL to secure their highest possible position on the 2020 Honour Roll and Annual Listing, you are reminded that the last date for mailing score updates to checkpoints for inclusion is 31 January 2020. If postmarked after that date, and each year some are received, they are processed in the normal way but the scores are held over to the following year's listing.
In countries where the postal service to the checkpoint is often
subject to delay, it is best to mail cards early so as to avoid complications.
It is important that participants who have not updated since the 2015 annual listings and wish to remain listed should make a submission before 31 January 2020.
Furthermore, if you have not logged into your record for more than two years, you will need to revalidate your registration.
Do not leave it to the last moment as you WILL run out of time.
