The bases page states a single dated running and no recurrence, so this is a manual record holding exactly what RCA published and nothing more. Both of RCA's national contests are in that state, and both of the dates on offer as of 2026-08-19 have already passed, so neither puts anything on a forward calendar today. That is the honest position: a plausible ordinal fitted to one date would be a rule RCA has not written. When RCA announces the next edition it is one line each. The times are stated by RCA in UTC alongside local Argentine time, so no zone resolution is involved.",
