Actually I have noticed that people do a last-minute submission for large even though they haven't solved small. Making this change will not allow that to happen any more. eg., 2 participants in http://code.google.com/codejam/contest/scoreboard?c=32016#vt=1&sp=441
Maybe just an additional dialog box asking "You haven't submitted solution for small. Are you sure you want to submit for large? You won't be able to sibmit again blah blah blah" will suffice. Just my opinion.
