Not at all. Doing that would lose you points in the selection phase. In fact the
point system could be arranged that the authors of the first-half program get
some fractional points from the people who chose their code for the second
half, and with enough teams the overall winning strategy could become simply
to blow off the second half altogether and get as many second-half winners
using your first-half code.
