Lol.. really.. It's getting more ridiculous to me the more I discover how challenge points system works. 
I just see no reason now to rush before the challenge expires. The point reduction penalty to send replays after expiration is kind meaningless.
It has been like that for years. I wonder if anybody complained about, I can't be the only one. 

Kaleuman, I do believe challenges are about proving you can do better than other players, regardless of points and other metrics such as expiration times. Rankings and points are for politicians, not for ropers.

I also do believe that, but if there is almost no distinction in the score then what's the incentive to send replays within time? As a league player I do care a bit about farming some points.
I'll try some old challenges soon cause I know now that the effort of those who sent in time is almost in vain.

Btw, can I steal the trophy sending a late replay? Like for this challenge, there is a custom trophy, I like it.

As I said, there are no seasons in the challenges. If the points reward was too high, then a new player could never reach the top. (unless top players get inactive)

Challenges have 2 kind of trophies:

1. Challenge trophy
2. Map trophy

You can steal a map trophy by holding the best record on that map but you can't steal a challenge trophy if it has expired.

For example in this challenge oldsock has the challenge trophy even though Mablak holds the first place. Mablak doesn't even have the silver or bronze medal for the challenge. (since he didn't take part in the active challenge)
But Mablak holds the gold "map medal".

It's much clear now, thanks!

Amazing time Mablak!

Hey Cue, thanks, I think 23 is probably possible though don't know if I'll try for it

impressive roping!
