Deadline confusion

Recommended Posts

Yes, I am one of those damn late bloomers. :D

BIS and / or community, can you clarify the deadline a bit more?

Here it says 28th of October 2014, 24:00 (GMT+1), which is the end of Tuesday.

But here it says 28th October 2014 at 12am (GMT+1), which (from my understanding) again can either be the end of Monday or the mid-day of Tuesday.

Thanks. :)

This is exactly what I wanted to ask too. :)

Now the forum engine writes 12:03 am. So I guess it's gonna be Monday's night 00:00;

And they wrote 26th in one of their newsletters recently..

So midnight (the end) of Tuesday, right? :)

I got an answer from BIS:

We can update our projects until the end of Tuesday.

@ Undeceived: Thanks for clarifying. I checked the contest site too and was surprised (positively^^) that submission ends on the 28th and not 26th.

You can indeed apply/edit until midnight - but obviously I'd personally strongly recommend against last-minute submitting (give yourself some time to deal with unforeseen complications) ;-)

To absolutely confirm on the above. The deadline is 23:59 pm (GMT +1) Tuesday 28th. Sorry, but its very important to understand this. ;)

Indeed it is (and complicated as well, being used to the 24hours system only). :D

Thanks @ all.

Since we're in a MilSim forum shouldn't it be written like "2359A hours" after all? ;)

Maybe not last minute, but last hour upload.. :D

Then the text in the rules is wrong:

Submission of Entries will be closed on 28th October 2014 at 12am (GMT+1).

According to international conventions 12 a.m. 28th is one min after 11:59 p.m. 27th ( GMT + 1). Which is also called the midnight of the 28th ( start of the day ).

If they meant the midnight ( end of day ) of the 28th of October, they should have wrote 12am 29th ( or 28th 24:00h ).

Search for MANW deadline, and find at least 3 different versions, starting from 26th to 28th midnight, 28th thursday. There is confusion even in BIS' communication.

Their (albeit non official) response was that it's 28th 23:59.

(midnight of a day is always 24:00 of that day. Wikipedia is wrong with this then. And I believe most deadlines are set by the end of a period, not a beginning of a new one so they would've written 27th if it had ended 2 hours ago. But this is only my view on their logic.)

To hopefully put an end to all the confusion, the deadline is indeed today October 28th at 23:59 GMT+1.

So I guess I am in: Update: 28 Oct @ 11:56pm

Sorry, I didn't believe you with the last minute thing: the whole day was full of unforseen complications. :)

How about you guys?

Haven't touched my project since monday. What's broken is broken, no need to break more stuff and drive me crazy by pushing out last minute fixes.^^ But congrats to all contestants who turned in their projects, can't wait to play all of them! ;)
