One good piece of contesting advice that I was taught and always try to adhere to is:
No matter how many points you scored, or how good or bad you think you did, always, ALWAYS submit your log. You might be surprised at the results, like I was with this QSO Party result!
Yes, a little bit of a brag 
but just goes to show, even with a low point score, anything can happen.
