Slitherine tournament game won't load to the server

I'm playing the current Slitherine FOG II Medieval tournament and I have a game that has finished, but the final upload to the server fails repeatedly, so the game lingers and is not officially finished.
Meanwhile I can play other multiplayer matches and download and upload the files without any problems.

This is a bug that sometimes occurs if a hiccup occurs when the first attempt to upload occurs. We have tried to track it down, but so far without success.

The game score is saved at the end of every turn, including victory bonuses if the rout % would have resulted in victory, which means that it will have been saved at the end of the previous turn. So if the game was effectively won in the previous turn, the only error in the score would be any changes to the score that occuurred due to rallies at the start of your turn.

Is the score on the score page more or less correct?

Yes, the score seems to be correct. I did lose 5% for one rout, which seems a bit high. That's what put me on 60% from 55% and I lost. Then the message "you have lost" appeared and then the replay continued for one more encounter between the units, and then it stopped at about 30%. And it's like that every time.
So the replay starts, gets to about 20% then the unit in the replay routs, I lose 5% and get to 60%, the message "you have lost" appears, I click OK,. the replay continues for one more encounter (between two units) the replay gets to about 30%, stops and the "failed to upload to the server" message appears.

Yes, unfortunately, once this bug has occurred, the system gets itself into a situation where repeated attempts to upload won't correct the issue.
