So what?  If those top 5 guys DID post their scores right away, it's not 
like the displaced ops can re-run the contest to try to improve their 
score.  Before 3830, they were going to find out eventually they didn't 
make the top 5.  So what's different now?  Or is this just the typical 
21st century obsession with instant information?

3830 is VOLUNTARY.  Submitting your log to the sponsor is VOLUNTARY (but 
mandatory if you want to try to win).  Following the contest rules is 
VOLUNTARY (but mandatory if you want to submit your score).
