vague timeskip, and a total change in the student counsel members.
RIP Mayumi and Mari.
Yeah, what was up with that? Is it supposed to have been a year already?
It hasn't been a year since Tatsuya and Miyuki started high school; in Japan the school year starts in April (now they are in October), but the Student council president and other members that are in their 3rd year step off their position in the last semester of their 3rd year to concentrate on entrance exams for University/college and also so that the next Student council has time to adapt and get experience before the next school year starts...

The full explanation of what happened in the 2 months between the 9 schools competition and the present time in the anime is covered in the 5th volume of the light novel (basically a collection of shorter stories focused on the supporting characters, rather than the protagonists all the time).

It is not mandatory to understand what is going on, but if you find the time skip without explanation too jarring I would advise checking it out (I particularly like the last chapter of the 5th volume, covering the student council president election...)
