Let's say Dmitry_A_S's result is higher than yours: you see that you lost, and that's it... there's nothing more you can do, because only one save is accepted from each player in the tournament... I hope I explained it clearly.
Sincerely.
If Dmitry_A_S's result is higher than mine... then what difference does it make when I find out... either before the save submission period ends, or after... I still won't be able to do anything. As for the intrigue... it doesn't disappear; on the contrary, it can be enhanced (if desired). I'll explain why: for example, I look at the preliminary results and see that Dmitry_A_S has a higher result (preliminary ranking), and let's say it's 4 points higher. Therefore, I think he collected N skeletons, and I collected M skeletons. Then, seeing these results, purely out of sporting interest, I replay the map and collect K skeletons. After finishing, I eagerly await the exact number of skeletons that Dmitry_A_S collected (let's say it's A skeletons)... and then I compare K and A and determine how close I was able to get to Dmitry_A_S's result. And from there, conclusions can be drawn. This is how the intrigue of the competition between players can develop during the tournament.
