| # General Contest Template

The General Contest template is available for contests that are not directly supported. A log evaluation is not possible, but it can be checked for dupes and a standard Cabrillo file can be generated. Fixed and sequential control numbers, as well as a combination of both, are supported.

If both fixed and sequential control number options are used, the sequential number is the first part, e.g. 001 XYZ

Next, you will be asked how the dupe check should be carried out.

Depending on the contest rules, the appropriate selection must be made here.

### Reset Dupe Check

Some mostly regional contests allow the same station to be rated more than once. Either from a certain point in time (multi-session) or after a certain period of time.
When starting a new contest, there is always a normal dupe check first. This is to prevent an incorrect setting.

If the contest consists of several runs (sessions), the dupe check can be reset via Menu–>Contest–>Reset Dupe Check. This action can be switched off or adjusted at any time in Settings–>General–>Dupe Check.

If the contest allows the same station to be scored again after a certain period of time, the time span for this must be set in Settings–>General–>Dupe Check. Set the popup menu to Reset after. The time is given in minutes.
