Events at Cycle Change

This page lists all events that occur at cycle change.

I use the "to be checked" column to ensure that at least 1 person verifies the info. Please remove the question mark if, to the best of your knowledge, this line is correct and complete.

This is still a work in progress (I plan to complete the missing elements). Do not hesitate to check/confirm all lines that need some proof-reading
