Hi, Hardy, Sharing the same pain with you, and most of ADC developers do also since there are quite some posts about this issue.
Here is a self-diligent way to easy submission pain (I used it to make myself sleep well after submission). 1. If you are not sure about your submission, resubmit it. 2. Before clicking submit button, review the entry data. 3. Right before clicking submit button, copy-paste (print-screen) the submit page to a word document, so that you may refer it back to see what data you submit (if you ever wondering what you submitted later). 4. Make sure you receive a web confirmation page and an email confirmation page for one submission. By doing all the above steps, you should feel confident about the submission, and should be able to have a good sleep. However, this only addresses poor submission interface/process. After that, we have to cross our fingers and wish our best lucks, not necessarily for win, but for our submissions being fairly/properly processed and evaluated.
