Competitions are structured so it could be the job of the SD/MD to document all relative incident data (a form should be made and provided for consistency) and uploaded to a specific database.

For non-serious incidents/near misses or those in free-flying we will have to rely more on self reporting. A publicized database/website should be made where pilots can fill out an incident form. For privacy and to encourage reporting, people should be able to opt for anonymity from distributed publications/statistics/reports if they choose.

In Germany, it is already mandatory to report all incidents to the DHV accident database. It is a clear rule that pilots must report their own incidents. The following types of incidents are legally required to be reported:

What incidents and malfunctions must be reported?

Serious injuries to the pilot and/or passenger (a “serious injury” is defined as one that requires hospitalization for more than 48 hours, or involves fractures (except fingers, nose, or toes), severe bleeding, nerve injuries, muscle or ligament damage, internal injuries, or second- and third-degree burns)

Death of the pilot and/or passenger

Severe damage or destruction of the aircraft

Near-miss incidents (when abnormal flight behavior of the aircraft leads to, or could have led to, an accident)

The DHV also encourages pilots to report all other incidents, even those that are not legally required, to improve the accuracy and completeness of accident statistics.
Similarly, the FAI could introduce a global aviation rule requiring that all accidents—at least those occurring during FAI competitions—be reported to a centralized global database. The DHV already analyzes all fatal accidents and publishes reports explaining why and how each one occurred. Having such a system on a global level would allow all pilots to learn from the mistakes of others.
