[UK-CONTEST] Contest UBN's

[Ray James]

Hi Chris,
Not quite what said.
I'm more than happy to see the results published first.
If a UBN email does arrive then in order to limit the duration of any appeal process time on the adjudicator, I suggested a short window of appeal be implemented.
For example, 48 hours from the time stamp of the UBN email being sent.
Thereafter, as happens now, we see the results are amended on a particular date on the results page. 

I think most will agree no amendment is required if no positional change takes place but if an offender sending one thing and submitting something else results in their higher placement in a "normalised score" contest like the UKAC and they are rewarded yet all below them are penalised and the station that copied verbatim what was sent loses the contact then that's not fair.

I cannot support Peter's view that the contact be scrubbed for both completely.
To take Don's football example a step further, it's like I'm heading for goal with the ball at my feet and about to score when I'm hacked down from behind. 
Under the current UBN system I get sent off, under Peter's both of us.
I'm suggesting the offender gets sent off for our particular clash when I can prove I did nothing wrong.

GM4CXM's suggestion of sending out (or better still, openly publishing) UBN
reports in advance of the final results, does have some merit. It would give
a limited period of time in which appeals could be made, and the
adjudicators could form a view for themselves whether an audio recording
supporting the appeal is clear-cut enough or not.
