Default contest number question

I haven't even looked, but I'm guessing there is still a requirement in
the contest "rules" to have contest numbers under the wing, etc.

I'm thinking of removing my under wing contest number and not replacing
it - is anyone aware of any contest where not having a contest number
under the wing has been an issue? With GPS scoring, I'm betting this is
a moot point.

TIA

It still is in the US rules, I just checked.

It obviously is not needed for scoring, but it is useful for safety
call on the radio. From some positions, it's hard to read the tail
markings, but possible to read the wing markings.
