[UK-CONTEST] RSGB Log Uploader accepting late entries.

[Rob Harrison]

Virtually all logs now are via the uploader, so the signature scenario 
wouldn't apply.

Although I have some sympathy with, what was obviously a simple error, not 
signing the sheet, just because it happened to be a leading score doesn't 
mean you can overlook it. If you happened to be on the other side of that 
bending of the rules, i.e. you were disadvantaged by it, then you'd feel 
aggrieved.

The uploader tells you if you've made an error which you can then correct 
and re-upload, BST instead of GMT, no serials, etc. The only thing you have 
to do youself is get the log in on time. Not too much to ask, and generally 
the time given is ample.

I've fallen foul of this one once, due to my own stupid fault, but thems the 
rules.
