The checking procedure

Five steps, in this order, every time

Mistakes that come up most

Four reasons a check comes out wrong

  • Checking the wrong roundA results page usually defaults to the most recent round, which may not be the one your entry belongs to.
  • Checking against the wrong formatThe same digits settle differently depending on the format you chose. The confirmation is what says which one applies.
  • Trusting a forwarded imageA screenshot is trivial to alter and even easier to forward from the wrong round. It settles nothing.
  • Reading a small screen without zoomingSimilarly shaped digits are easy to swap at default phone text size. Zoom in.

Keeping your own record

What to keep, and when

The confirmation is your side of the record, and the moment to keep it is the moment it appears — not the moment you need it. A screen that is showing temporarily may not come back.

Five things belong in that record: the round, the entry format, the digits, the time and the system reference. If you are taking a screenshot, make sure all five are in one image rather than cropping to the numbers.

Put it somewhere you will find it, not in a camera roll with several thousand other pictures. A dedicated folder or album pays for itself the first time you need to look something up.

If your own check disagrees with what the system shows, contact the team with the reference number from the confirmation. That number is what makes a look-back quick.
