On Tuesday, April 30, the NRA released the below statement regarding the suspension of all sanctioned matches until the end of June. This announcement updates the previous one from March. 

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the NRA is unfortunately suspending all sanctioned matches through June 30, 2020. Any requests for sanctioning of new matches are also suspended until further notice. As a result of this suspension, the NRA will no longer accept match fees or scores. The NRA will continue to monitor the situation and make additional statements as the Covid-19 pandemic unfolds.
