Beats me why you think that contest sponsors should accept your late
checklog. If they were to actually try to use it for anything it would
slow things down for everyone else. The deadline is there to speed up
the log checking process ... which is where all the logs go into a large
database and get crunched by the computer. Why should they (at least in
theory) have to run it again just for your log?
Some strange logic here ...

Bob, I have submitted a couple logs late, simply missing the deadline not as a
protest, only to have the log rejected. So which contests accept check logs?
From my personal experience, it appears that some contest robots do not accept
late logs. I had that happen to me recently, I forget which contest, I deleted
the return email that said my log was rejected for being late.
Why not accept the log, put it in a check log repository, and send a response of
"sorry you missed the deadline but your log has been accepted as a check log"?
Or is this already done but the sender is not aware of it?
Saying that checklogs are accepted, apparently is not always true.
