1. How long do score submission forms for contests remain available?: Generally, a score submission form for a contest remains available for about 7 days after the log submission due date for that contest. Exceptions are major contests with 5 to 7 day log submission deadlines - forms are available for 30 days following the contest, and weekly contests - forms are available until the Monday following the week in which the contest was held.

2. How can I submit a score after the submission form for a contest is no longer available?: Contact Bruce Horn, WA7BNM. He can supply one-use links for specific contests in small quantities that can be used to submit scores.

3. How do I correct/update a posting for a contest?: Click on the Correct Previous Submission button near the top of the form and follow the directions.

4. Can I correct/update a posting after its submission form is no longer available?: No, corrections/updates can only be requested while the form for a contest is still active.

5. Why don't I see my updated posting after submitting an update?: All updates to postings are manual. Depending on the number of updates received and WA7BNM's availability, it may take up to 24 hours for the update.

6. How do I delete a posting?: If you need to delete a posting (posted for the wrong contest for example), follow the directions for correcting a posting and then simply indicate in the Comments section of the form that the posting should be deleted and why.

7. How do I get my club added to the drop-down list of contest clubs?: Contact Bruce Horn, WA7BNM. More major club listings are needed for areas outside of North America. For North American clubs that wish to be listed, you should have a history of members posting to 3830scores.com by manually entering the club name in the Other selection of the drop-down. A club must have demonstrated sufficient activity (WA7BNM's discretion) to be included in the list.

8. How do I track the activity of club members across multiple contests?: The activity trackers display a list of all contest activity for a club or group. By default the lists are based on the club selected in the club selector on the score posting form. However, it's possible to upload a list of specific call signs associated with a club, or arbitrary group, so that contest activity is automatically associated with the club/group, regardless of whether a club was selected on the score posting form, based solely on the call signs listed for the entry. This method allows a posting to be associated with more than one club. Contact Bruce Horn, WA7BNM if you are a club representative and wish to upload your club membership. Similarly, contact WA7BNM if you'd like to track the activity of a group of contesters not associated with a specific club.
