Engrave ‘extra’ medals in case of a tied medal placing
All medals come to the organiser fully engraved. There is also a set of un-engraved medals sent in case there is a tie. Medals that need engraving due to that the event had tied medal placing can be managed in two ways:

The organiser collects medal information, name and address to the medalist and send un-engraved medals it to IOF Office.
