The agreement is the binding contract.  So Wednesday is the date they are committed to. If they erroneously put Tuesday in the email, they'll prolly try - but remember that they have another competition that ran this weekend, and will be dealing with the entries from that tomorrow morning, so the chances of being 'ahead of schedule' on something else seem slim

Hiya Nixie,

>>The agreement is the binding contract.  So Wednesday is the date they are committed to. If they erroneously put Tuesday in the email, they'll prolly try...

Actually, it's the reverse.
I just verified in the agreement it says the 12th! Section 21, here:

Surprising because to my recollection it has ALWAYS been the Wednesday.
I suspect they got the calendar wrong and we either just do not hear Tuesday midnight, or we get an email saying they messed it up and we'll be getting it Wednesday. :-P

Thanks Trond - I must have misread the quote on it from an earlier post - or mislaid/overlaid the traditional-wednesday history as well. :)  

Despite my detail error, the core statement stands - the contract is where their calendar should be coming from, and in a busy SSC week, I doubt they will be 'ahead' on anything.   I think I am gonna go work, and life, and stuff, and just wait til i see the email come in.... ;)

The email is always the final word.  Go with what was in your email confirmation.

Do you guys want to take (pretend) bets on it? My money says the results will come in on Wednesday night/Thursday morning at around 12:10 AM EST.

Fine. That's fine. I've had randomly terrible luck today. I think I'd *rather* hear tomorrow. When my good luck returns.

I tell myself.

Well, this means I'll be checking my phone in the middle of my office holiday party. It's in a pub, so perfect location to get news either good (more drinks for celebrating!) or bad (more drinks for drowning my sorrows).
Good luck everyone!
