SC - I'm not sure why, but this one is not registering when I try to do an 'Import' with the Scorer. Just thought you'd like to know.

It's because 'February' is spelled out instead of using '2' and hyphens. But you can copy the table (from 'The Shining' up to 'Low') and paste on the missions table in the tool; this will work.

The rules imply forum time, which is GMT-5, so it should continue for 10 more hours beyond the time of your post until 0500 GMT Monday.
(For reference: The unadjusted forum time can be found on this page (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;sa=theme).)
Well, we don't all live in a timezone where we will be able to close the tournament at that time. We might also have a life that prevents us from closing at that time. Dont be such a stickler!

...strongly implies that closing at this time is due to a misinterpretation of the rules.
B: If zaphod cannot close the tournament at the scheduled time, there are others that can. It is only a matter of asking nicely.

I thought that it said GMT midnight -5 therefore GMT 19:00
You have it backwards... You subtract 5 hours to get from GMT to GMT-5, you have to add time to go back. 1900 GMT = 1400 in GMT-5 and 0500 GMT = 0000 in GMT-5.
Perhaps we should leave out the GMT reference. Doesn't forum time show on your screens?
Not if you have the offset set to something other than 0, it doesn't.
Guess I don't know why one would do that. At any rate, if one did, I'd expect that one would know what it means, and apply it to the process.

EDIT: Additionally, any changes in the score after scores are posted in the thread are very likely to be reported. My qualm was less with zaphod's posting the scores then and more with the statement "...this weeks tournament is now closed" being made 10 hours before the rules indicate that it should. Requesting any score improvements after a certain time to be reported is entirely reasonable IMO.
In the past, the tournament was closed per the agreed upon time, even if the scores could not be immediately reported because of the availability of the author. Scores are time-stamped, so that they can be time verified later, even if the results are delayed. I'd recommend we stick to the process so those that try to improve their scores at the last minute are allowed to do so (they may have the last few hours available to them even as the author has them unavailable to him). Scores that are posted after midnight forum time are so indicated, and the author should disallow them when calculating the results.
I don't see the time stamps. While I know they are stored, I dont see them available.
I think its fine for the person hosting the event to end it when its convenient for him. The time was announced at the beginning of the week, so its fair and square for everyone.
In CW1, hovering the cursor over the score revealed the time it was posted. I don't see that avaiable in CW 2, so maybe there is no way of verifying it. So be it. It's certainly not worth a big flap, so I'll let it rest.

Ah, but then there comes a problem for anyone who wanted to join later in the week. Not all schedules are equal. I know that I personally could not ever compete in one of these events and play the games any time before the last 12 hours or so. Think perhaps about why I visited this thread to begin with...
