[QUOTE="Felisek, post: 461921, member: 23887"] Aneela, we use UTC for this competition, not local time. However, I think the rules might not be clear to everyone. Rule #3 states [COLOR=#000000] According to [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-hour_clock"]Wikipedia[/URL] this is a precise statement, as 00:00 means the beginning of the day. However, not everybody is familiar with this convention and "00:00 UTC on Wednesday" might be ambiguous: it can mean either Tuesday/Wednesday night, or Wednesday/Thursday night. I think we should clarify that the competition starts and ends at 00:00 UTC on Tuesday/Wednesday night, in order to avoid any ambiguity. As you can see, Aneela, you are late even in your local time, as it is Wednesday where you live. [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
