Under common law courts don't award speculative damages - i.e. opportunity cost. If you had concrete damages, like you bought a computer just to participate in this contest, you might theoretically have a claim for the cost of the computer... that's simply not realistically the case though.

Injunctive relief for not publishing known to be incorrect test rankings? Not likely.

A FOI request might get you access to the rankings if you really cared...
