I'm not sure, but I think the discretion is supposed to be around seeding, rather than entry, so if every spot was filled with 100 mile times and he didn't have one, technically he shouldn't get in, however, if he did a very average 100, the organisers could give him a seeded place based on a the belief that he will be very close to the competitive end of the field based on his previous 100 time as well as his 50, and 12 record from last year.
I wouldn't put it past people to be very pedantic about it given the hullabaloo that took place over the distance of the course!!

It's up to the organiser though isn't it? So they could use their discretion to allow him in? Or is it hard and fast cutoff time = no wildcards?
