::: comment :::
I finally understood that there is no credit for the new entry in the case of a self trump and that the credit for the first submission is lost also.

I wonder why.

In that situation, I agree with a penalty (50 or whatever), but with such a loss of points for the new entry there are no incentive to try to improve its own rating and to challenge all the players for the best ED rating.
