No difference between medal and ribbon device configuration.

Interpretation

As for the rack builder we interpret the regulations concerning full size medals as follows:

  • 5 devices per row due to physical limitations
  • Attachments are aligned horizontally
  • Configuration is determined by regulation(The width of 3 medals, as many as 5 per row if total is greater than 6)
