Official Rules say submissions are due tomorrow. DevPost says TODAY. What's up?

There is a significant error in the rules, and/or the submission date on DevPost, as they are out-of-sync and leading to a lot of confusion with our team. We only noticed this when we started getting notifications that the submission time is closing TONIGHT, one day earlier than the rules suggest.

The rules section lists the submission as:

> Submission Period: Monday, August 5, 2024 (8:30 am Pacific Time) – Thursday, September 18, 2024 (11:45 pm Pacific Time) (“Submission Period”).

It also lists the start of the judging period as:

> Judging Period: Friday, September 19, 2024 (12:00 am Pacific Time) – Sunday, September 22, 2024 (12:00 pm Pacific Time) (“Judging Period”).

Neither of these dates exist - Thursday is the 19th, and Friday is the 20th.

The DevPost shows the submission must be in by WEDNESDAY, September 18th, which is different than what the rules state.

Which date is the correct one? We have been operating based on the Official Rules, which should give us until Thursday night to submit, but we are now afraid DevPost will lock the submissions TONIGHT, which is one day earlier than the rules say.

Please advise.

    Yes it looks like there was a typo stating Thursday instead of Wednesday (the dates are correct). Everywhere else on the site and all other communications look like they have been correct.

    So to be clear, the submission deadline is Wednesday September 18 at 11:45pm Pacific Time.

    I'm super sorry about the confusion!

    Hi Charlie,

    We have been working towards releasing the app based on the Thursday deadline, and subsequent Friday submission review start date. This confusion puts our app in jeopardy of being disqualified, since we are not prepared to submit until tomorrow, and will cost us several hundred man hours and thousands of dollars in development. I strongly encourage you to consider an extension due to the confusion.

    Best,

    Chris

    So glad we went the iOS route for our expo app, rushing anything out on Android is tough as a new Dev requiring 20 beta testers for closed testing with 7 day review times per release! Anyhoo best of luck all!!!
