  Presumably Competitor number is unique, so what you could do is take the value from the input there and find the corresponding record in the DataTable, then edit and submit that using the API - for example:

  var compNumber = $('#compeititorNumber').val();
  var score = $('#score').val();
  
  var rowIdx = table
    .row( function ( idx, data, node ) {
      return data.compeititorNumber == compNumber;
    } )
    .index();
  
  editor
    .edit( rowIdx, false )
    .set( 'score', score )
    .submit();
  

  Obviously you might need to update the parameter names, but basically that's the idea (the key perhaps being using the function for the selector to pick out the required row for the competitor number).
