[CQ-Contest] Contesting On Line - Used to be Rookie Roundup Scoring

[Zack Widup]

I don't have any complaints about the RR contest rules. But a 10
minute rule won't work for VHF contests that have a Portable and Rover
class. A lot of the Rovers and Portables don't even get home till a
few hours after the contest. Sometimes more. It takes me a couple
hours just to tear down and pack everything up.

Should I then not be allowed to submit a log because I had to deal with something that prevented me from making some sort of stupid 10 minute log submission deadline?  Guess I am the only one who has a life outside of contesting and may not always be able to drop everything and submit a log at 00:00:01 UTC.
