Ring Contest Ended early?? -[Need rep response]

[Zantetsuken]

speaking as a former professional artist, former military, and current chef...

If you're early, you're on time...

if you're on time, you're late.

Perhaps you could write SE and have them add that to their contest rules next time?

"Be sure to submit your entry "early". Any submissions that are not received (? hours) before the published end of the contest will be disqualified"

By that logic, they could just end 1.0 right now and tell us that waiting to accomplish things up to Nov 1st is just procrastination... after all, we should have been ready for it.

But still, this is all sidestepping the issue.



In reality, the contest rules are a de-facto legal document that SE (and contestants) must abide by. Posting the time and date of termination for entry submission is a mandated part of any legal document involving Contests, Sweepstakes, or Lotteries. As the posted rules did not have any clauses that allow for the changing of such a time and date -- any entries received between Friday, August 10, 2012 (PDT) and Monday, September 3, 2012 11:59pm (PDT) 2012 must be accepted.

Then again, for all we know, maybe they actually intended to give NA contestants another day.
