The first stage of the tournament "named after Van Kanigem"

And add to that the saying "Haste makes waste" (which is exactly my case).
I sent my save file a long time ago (the very first one), not expecting to have time to replay, but yesterday I managed to play twice and improved my result by 36%.
But alas... I'll be "making people laugh" with my first result.
P.S. I'm waiting for the tournament to end; I want to express my point of view on completing the game in the shortest possible time.

I would personally advocate for you, if everyone else doesn't object, so that VDV would accept your best final save. In fact, why not accept a better final save from a person if they happen to have time to replay. You could even include this in the rules. That is, you can send the save file no more than twice. Well, that's exactly what it's for :)
So, think about it yourself - anyone could be in that player's shoes.
