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

[Rob - G4LMW]

Steve, G3UFY has already given the current HFCC position.

Perhaps you missed it:

==================================
The RSGBCC Robot accepts logs submitted outside the entry window (on the
grounds that, for overall checking, it is better to have a log than not) but
late logs are flagged as such and are normally treated as checklogs and
excluded from the competition.

However, adjudicators may grant an extension of the entry window if the
entrant concerned applies for one BEFORE the stated closing date AND has a
valid reason for the application.

G3UFY
Secretary RSGBCC
==================================

That doesn't suggest any scope for "I do not like that rule so I will not 
apply it"

73, Rob
G4LMW
