Rich,
If I know a scoring mistake was made in my favor I will correct
it. Even then it's not so clear though. During event 10 I felt
like I hit a cone on every run, but I don't know for sure since
I didn't spin my head and look for a downed cone. I got a second
for that event but it could have been a fourth. If I knew for sure
that I killed a cone on my last run I would ask to have it added,
but I can't really know for sure so I'm stuck trusting the official
results.
But if I knw I DNF'd of something that I was certain about, I'd
correct the error myself.
