Re: Is Editing Allowed for Contest Rounds?
Speaking as a judge in the past (Iā€™m just not judging this year).

I go through and grab all the links from the contest rounds, then open and start looking them over. Weā€™re not required to keep reading if it doesnā€™t keep our interest so I might read one paragraph, I might read the whole thing.

If itā€™s locked or the link doesnā€™t work, I just move on. If you edit it after Iā€™ve looked at it, I wonā€™t go back and reread.

There are a LOT of entries, especially in round one. So my suggestion is for the contest rounds put forth your best effort and donā€™t edit too much after the first day or so for the judges.
