Maybe I don't understand, but didn't you submit these flights before
midnight EST on a Tuesday, which is when I think the cutoff is? The
test would be whether a flight (made on Monday or earlier) is accepted
or rejected if submitted after 8 pm PDT on Tuesday. As noted
previously, I know someone (actually, two people) who had flights
rejected in this situation.

I think you're right - as far as I know, I haven't submitted a flight in
that sequence. Did they contact OLC about allowing the submittals, since
they were submitted within the time allowed by the rules?

That won't help in the situation you described (landing in the middle of
nowhere on Monday, so you don't get to an internet connection until too
late Tuesday). I asked about that situation in an email to them earlier
this year. Summarizing their answer: "We want to ensure the weekend
flights, when most flying is done, are posted promptly, to keep the
contest as 'real time' as possible". It's an unlikely situation (not
getting to internet in time), I think, but I'd still like to see some
tolerance for flights that land a long way from the takeoff point.
