I would have thought it would have been easiest to simply extract the time from the cloud save - it's stored on their server so it's not like people can change it.

If you haven't cloud saved, the time doesn't count.

They could provide an hour of "grace" (15 minutes would be plenty) after the competition closes for people to complete their save before times are reviewed, another hour before prizes are awarded (to remove cheats).
