The 3rd stage of the annual John Van Caneghem Tournament (2007).

The application was submitted in ADVANCE. But due to technical reasons, it was not displayed on the forum.

The fact that it was due to technical reasons is understandable. But when he sent the result, as Alex_R points out, he should have at least found out his number in that table. The organizer should have made the appropriate correction or announcement. But I think Richard's result should be counted (it's not such a serious violation, and the person tried and completed it, especially since VDV provided a preliminary result), but in the future, everyone should pay attention to ensuring that they know their application has been accepted. I would also like to point out that many people are now understanding why preliminary results are needed, which organizers should post on the forum
