Crazy that that of all things is what's going to scupper the trip! It was always very last minute though, so can't be too surprised. Strange that the competition win was only announced a week before such a pivotal piece of documentation was needed, but there you are.
Frankly, that requirement is nonsense. My doc signed mine without me going for a new ECG because he knew I was in good health and had an ECG a few years before. My buddy simply forged a doctor's name on his and sent it in. There is no way on earth the are going to check so next time i will be forging mine rather than bothering my doctor about it. Even though I am usually a strict follow the rules guy, my advice is to use your best illegible doctor's scrawl and sign it yourself.
