Both dates are the third Sunday of September, but 'the Sunday nearest 21 September' fits them equally and UBA states no rule at all, so neither ordinal is asserted and both published dates are recorded as given. The page also says 'Voor het volledig reglement consulteer de BMA website' -- the complete rules live at belgianmillaward.be, off UBA's site; everything encoded here comes from UBA's own page. log_deadline_days is unset: UBA gives a fixed calendar date ('tenlaatste op 5 oktober'), not an interval.",
