Once you've returned a result you should just sit back and wait. If your result is validated you will get the credit, if it isn't you won't. Just remember S@H is already looking at data that has taken years to get to us, and many cases that recording of that data is about a year old.

The idea of selecting your wingmen, either by name or by pool, has been discussed many times before. The reason its not allowed is historic, but its basis is to reduce the possibility of folks fiddling their results to enhance the credit awarded.

That's the small issue. Sending back fake results without actually crunching the WU would be a lot worse for the project.
