A.Buchanan: The short retro try is presumably intended, else sTb5 would suffice (2021-10-16)

Numerous retro tries h#3, but none distinct. Unique retro try h#2 which under Article 15 becomes the set play.
A.Buchanan: So what's the tourney theme exactly? Is it just the wonderful Art.15, the "official joke". There is a unique h#2 retro try: is that a requirement of this tourney? (2020-05-10)
Henrik Juel: You can find the award here, Andrew

My Serbo-Croatian is a bit rusty, so I will leave the translation to you (2020-05-10)
A.Buchanan: I cannot see the logic behind sBc4d3g5. The solution, the h#2 retro try, and the retro logic are all unaffected by their removal. There are numerous h#3 tries anyway.
I have found the results of this tourney on pages 79-81 of the document above. At 70 pages, it is too long for google translate, but apparently one can do character recognition in google drive for free, and then those pages might be translatable. There is also an interesting article by Fabel at the beginning about conventions, which might be worth resuscitating. I will leave these for someone else.
This document has been photocopied multiple times, and some of the diagrams are very difficult to read. It makes me never want to compose with a black piece on a black square ever again! However the retro condition makes it easier to reconstruct the diagrams. (2020-09-30)

Numerous retro tries h#3 but none distinct, however unique h#2 which serves as setplay under Art. 15.
A.Buchanan: In some cases, as here, the unique retro try is short: just h#2. It's clearly intentional (the 3 Bl units on e-file serve just this line). (2021-10-20)
A.Buchanan: For h# problems, Art. 15 is just a motivation for set play. They come down to the same thing, pruning the first single move. So if we talk about set play for an Art. 15 problem, maybe it means *after* the player has been flipped for retro reasons. And set play doesn't care whether the position is legal or not! (Otherwise it would be called "*consequent* set play", maybe!)
So here we start with a h#3*, which for retro reasons, becomes a h#2.5*. This yields a mate in 2.5 and a mate in 2.0, and comically we never get to worry that the latter is in an illegal position. If there was a clean mate in 3.0, that could be denoted h#3v, to indicate the try.
Does that work as a notation? How about directmates? (2021-10-20)
Henrik Juel: In problems with stipulations like #2 or #3, the convention is that the number (2 or 3) is the number of white moves, so there the retro joke is clear
For helpmates there is no such convention, but your notation seems OK (2021-10-20)
