Cheaters are not the issue, they are after all kicked out of the whole contest, and shouldn't participate.
My main issue is with people submitting the wrong source code, and not finding out until Wednesday, when they hear the news they should have gone to round 1B/C ... I know it isn't my case, but some people out there could have made that mistake, and it would be really lame if they missed round 2 because of something like that. Dear reader: If you are in the top 1000, please double check your source submissions and make sure they are correct, if they are not, ask the admins to nullify that problem's score so you can participate in the round 1B and/or 1C .
