Results - Voting Deadline

2008-06-05T18:04:00.003-05:00

Hey everybody,
Me and Ryan had a voting deadline set for midnight last night. Unfortunately we didn't make that known and some people voted after the fact. This is also the first week where the votes actually have to be seriously counted to determine the winner. In the interest of fairness and to not disenfranchise voters, the voting deadline this week will extend to midnight tonight, CST.

Most everybody has already voted, so this is probably not a big deal. Look for results posted tomorrow morning. And vote in the Week 4 comments if you haven't already.

Re: The delay, rule amendment.

2008-05-19T14:24:00.002-05:00

Hey you guys,

Sean here. Sorry about the delay in posting videos this week. The old deadline was Monday morning and I was out of town this morning so I didn't get a chance to post. Ryan hasn't finished his yet. For this week he has until tonight at midnight to finish or he forfeits the week.

For all future weeks the deadline will be Sunday nights at midnight. This will ensure no mix-ups and a fresh post for your Monday work day.

With any luck, there'll be two great videos later today. Otherwise, just one awesome video from yours truly.

Thanks for your patience,
Sean
