During competition
1. It is the competitors’ own responsibility to insert the e-card into the e-punch correctly. In fact, e-cards can only be inserted into the e-punch in one direction. If both the e-card and backup label cannot record a particular punch record, system malfunction will not be considered as a valid reason for appeal.
