There is a quick solution to find out how many apps someone has already submitted in this thread. I recommend the ninjastic.space tool and search for the username and enter the topic id.
It's really helpful tool and have used it multiple times whenever I need to extract some forum related information about posts,merits or members as you can filter out the results and have optimised results with you very easily.I have also recommended members to use it as search function instead of using forum search which shows messed up results but the problem is many members here might not ise it or find it hard if say about new members so they can have idea about round they are participating as post submission for merits in this thread.You have written word app for submission? I think it's more of posts members are submitting not apps for merit evaluation and specifying the Round is good to have an idea how many posts each member has applied for.But we should keep the thread for the purpose it is made and not have lengthy discussion over it.
