No, you can't. Don't most statements at the bottom of the summary

E.G., ARRL FD Form:

in accordance with the current field day rules and that, to the best of
my knowledge, the points and scores set forth in the above summary are
correct and true. This station was operated in accordance with FCC
rules and regulations. I agree to be bound by any decision of the ARRL
Awards Committee.
After all, the time when you were running 50 kW didn't

When KG5U calls 'em at 5 watts to work 'em at 5 watts,

reduce my power output to 5 watts.
