ShareEither is fine. If it turns out two scores are so close to each other that milliseconds matter, we can examine those scores specifically.
had to be a jerk at last second, i dont expect this question to be answerd on time, but i figured out my issue was my 2600. typically 7800 is allowed though not explcitly stated here. i'll be submitting on that, but hopefully i can get lucky and someone can answer here if the 7800 is officialy ok.

Should timing be submitted as whole seconds, or should the submission include milliseconds?
