Allows countries to have two championships per year - one quiet and one main. This supersedes the previous FMC championship guidelines. Championships must now only have 3x3 as their main event, fixing inconsistencies with championships having no main event or FMC/3BLD for quiet championships
In line with recent communication from the WCA Board.
Qualifications may now apply to only results from a certain time period of at least 90 days ending on the qualification deadline.
A competition name is allowed if it is in a language other than English, French, Portuguese, or Spanish - the languages spoken in the greatest number of countries. Arabic is excluded since competition names already wouldn't be written in Arabic due to permitted characters.

Does this need some changes to recognize that the events may be spread across multiple Championship competitions?
