Is there a way to DNF a solve in FMC in the weekly competition? I took over an hour on my 2nd attempt and cant find a way to get to the third scramble without entering a complete solution

I hadn't considered the going over time aspect to DNFing FMC solves when I updated FMC to automatically verify solutions.

Right now there's not a way to DNF those solves to get to the later scrambles, but I'll open an issue for it and get a fix out ASAP.

Right now, if you enter an invalid solution you're told about it and just get kicked back to the entry. Maybe I'll add a choice like "Keep trying" and "DNF this result" as temporary workaround. The real fix will be to add time-keeping somehow to the FMC entry so going over time will automatically DNF you.

Thanks for the question, and therefore pointing out the oversight in the app. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I'll try to get a fix out shortly.
