[CQ-Contest] Random acts of kindness, Unassisted Categories, Rules, etc.

[Ev Tupis]

This is a good example of a well written rule.  There are many reasons for late log submittals and providing the adjudicators with wiggle room is a people-friendly thing.

Hi Mike,

Read the rule: it says logs received after the deadline MAY be classified as 
a checklog. It does not say WILL be classified as a checklog.

The League is obviously giving itself some discretion in the matter.
