Dear participants! Don't rush to send in your save files! For example, I'm not even interested anymore, because I know that some people have sent in far from optimal Walkthroughs (as they say themselves). Is it interesting to compare your result with a quorum (or something like that)? Of course, you want to quickly "get rid of this burden." It always seems that the current result is the best, and that you are not capable of more. I assure you, this is not the case. Almost always, the result can be improved, thereby increasing the competition.
There is a simple solution: do not limit the number of save files sent. What difference does it make – let them sit there until needed. Only the last one sent is counted. I don't understand the position of the organizers, in particular, the respected VDV_forever, who, although he wants to improve his result, cannot do so because of the rule of one save file. Then the question is: will the winner really win, or will he simply play better than his opponents in a rough draft?
If I have time, I will also participate. Today I looked at the map, ran through it: it's tedious, to be honest.
From the point of view of the participants, yes, I sent my first save, the second one in 1 day, the third one in 2 hours, etc., i.e., there is no need to worry that the save will not be received, or that it will not be possible to improve the result in the last hour of the Tournaments. From the point of view of organization, it is more difficult to check all the emails, and if there are 50 from one participant, to look at the last email? And what if it doesn't contain the save that the participant wanted to send, but sent it in, say, email number 47. Confusion will begin among the participants themselves, not to mention the organizers.
On the other hand, the proposal is very good, and I really like it, but let's say, limit it to 3 final save files from one participant.
As for me, nothing can be changed in this Tournament anymore, I failed it, and according to the rules, I cannot improve it; I think it is unacceptable to make changes during the Tournament. After the Tournament, I will try to discuss this issue with the organizers of other resources. Thank you.
I will be very grateful for your participation in the Tournament. Unfortunately, very few people are participating in this Tournament on HW, and there are still 6 stages ahead – the Van Kanegem stage!

... and most importantly, there is a very high probability of error in this.
I agree. But 3, I think, will be just right;)
Sincerely, VDV_forever
