	The relay variation allocation 2025 uses a new algorithm to assign the variants to the teams and each runner. The algorithm ~~'''~~prefers variants with a larger ~~"distance"'''~~. ~~So neighbored teams do net get very similar variants~~. Further the new algorithm is ~~'''~~much better for relays with leg variations~~'''~~ (e.g. Sprint relays).<br>		The relay variation allocation 2025 uses a new algorithm to assign the variants to the teams and each runner. The algorithm prefers variants with a larger number of different variations compared to the other teams (e.g. ABAB is preferred to ABAA if AAAA and BBBB are already used). Further the new algorithm is much better for relays with leg variations (e.g. Sprint relays).<br>
