NorthSec 2021 Badge note

remote-edition context · official source · documented

NorthSec's official past-editions page describes 2021 as a lockdown/remote edition, so the catalogue avoids claiming ordinary in-person badge distribution logistics.

The record focuses on the public electronic badge, game flags, and development-board behavior rather than unsupported hallway-distribution details.
