The Carillo log score submitted is a claimed score, nothing more, nothing less. I have never seen any contest where the submitted score in a Cabrillo log was even considered in the final determination.

The contest log checkers, be they robot or human, will score your log. What the logging program does to it means not a whit. If "the contest organizers...need to catch up", they will when it suits them. It WON'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE to your place in the contest.
