Not necessarily. The third party could download all the logs and do their
own scoring. The only things the public logs are missing are the checklogs.

Without access to the UBN's (LCR's), the validity of an independent party
scoring a contest within a contest is questionable.

The grid-locator has not been removed from the CQ WW and WPX public logs.
Not all logs included this information, but for those that did, it appears
in their public log.
The grid-locator information was just added to the contest submissions
(and to the Cabrillo spec) in 2019.

provide all the logs to you for your own scoring and cross checking"

This is a very interesting idea. The CQWW and CQ WPX public logs are
already available in Cabrillo format, the ARRL DX logs in non Cabrillo
format.
It would be interesting to see distance based scoring applied to the CQWW
and ARRL DX contests. Most interesting would be the CQ WPX with 1 point Q X
mults scoring.
The W3KM Cabrillo evaluator could be used (?) to rescore the top 50 logs
in each category. The only problem is the Maidenhead grid square has been
removed from the public logs for "privacy reasons", even though a grid
square is 500 sq miles in size.
A website Realcontestscores.com could be set up.
Maybe the Top Ten results would all be the same. Maybe not.
Maybe when a few sunspots come back no one will care that coastal W1/2/3's
dominate the Top Ten. For now though I am considering hiring a social media
PR firm to promote my 2 hour 20M EU opening on 20M, Watch out W1/Maine, I'm
coming for you next year!
