Changes were supposed to come into effect on January 1, 2021 and of course they will go ahead.

Will the Championships be Held from Friday to Sunday (+1) or from Saturday to Sunday (+1) ? I plan a trip to the World Championships, and in 2017/2019 it started on Friday, but in 2023 they will start on Saturday.
