They had better accept entries for NA up to 11:59pm (PDT). If they don't, it would be an outrage for those who planned around the times they stated and got cheated out of entering.

Don't give up, submit your entries. I expect that SE will abide by the time they posted.

I don't. For what they've pulled in the past I have a text file on my desktop titled "SE's rules don't matter." I kid you not.

If I was running a contest like this, in response to a foul-up claiming early conclusion I'd tack on a weeklong extension for the affected party.
