With the advent of contests that are 24 hours long, they can get a little too long if you start a virtual contest for them and are done with the problems after a couple of hours and do not really plan to do anything more, yet you have to wait the whole 24 hours for it to finish. You currently can just log out and go to standings though, so this is only a slight issue.

And a question, would deleting the virtual contest do this, or will it also remove the participation stats from the round's unofficial standings?
