For the record, your message here was posted at 07:34 (my local time) while the Gmail submittal was posted at 07:27 (my local time).madbesl
You're actually correct - I did the math backwards. SoGT's time was submitted by the deadline for GMT. I offset the 1-hour difference for US Daylight Savings Time in the wrong direction (and came up with a -6 hour offset, rather than the correct -4 hour offset from GMT). This means that your time was submitted by 11:30 GMT, well before the deadline. My sincere apologies for the confusion - the mistake was all mine and none theirs.
SoGT's time IS legitimate and will be included. I will update the results shortly.
Can anyone from GTIRN explain what happened and where their submittal went? SoGT has been cleared and I would like to be able to do so with GTIRN's time so we get a complete field for the first round. I'd rather not update the results more than once, so please reply as soon as possible.
Thanks, and sorry again for the confusion with SoGT.

PROBLEM SOLVED - for reasons unknown, GTIRN was filtered by my spam filter.Duke
The submittal was there with the appropriate pre-deadline time stamp, but I had to go digging to find it. I'll update the results soon to include both times.
No DNFs and no bending of the rules are required. ALL TIMES ARE LEGITIMATE PENDING REPLAY REVIEW. I'm sorry for the confusion, everybody. Thanks for your patience.
GTIRN case : That is fine to me. I don't see any problem to include their submittals in the leaderboard.
SoGT (S..? of? Gran Turismo?) : [deleted: Mail sent 27 minutes off the deadline, it's late. I'd accept it but with a little penalty for being late. Half-point.]
EDIT : But the question stays. What does SoGT means?

I'm all enforcing for the Rules.. But I'm with Max on this one. I believe that teams sailing too close to the deadline are playing russian roulette and are asking for trouble. But the rules and proceedures for this one have been a little complicated. and this is the first time we've had to put them into practice. It wasn't as if the two teams in question were like an epoch over the deadline, it was a matter of timezones local clocks etc... Sure it's down to the teams to check the zones, but I wouldn't fire a guy for being ten minutes late on his first day in a new job who got caught in traffic on a new route.
The key word for me in Dukes proposal was For this round only. I Don't think that this neccesarily sets a dangerous precident.. if it happens later in the competition you can say.. well you saw what happened in round one, you were warned.. this time the axe falls.
Of course you can clamp down with a fist of iron if it's the majority oppinion. But both teams have contributed a lot over the past 4 months before many of the other boards got thier acts together. and like the rest of us have put a lot of work into getting a team together, submitting races, etc. If we slam-dunk them on the start line it doesn't say a lot for the so called GT online "community" imho.

The points system is modelled on the Speed World Challenge Touring Car and GT series in real racing. It's the way the series is run.Wity
This was up for discussion - and was discussed, and approved by consensus - several months ago. I asked for input on the subject not once but twice. I also don't recall you saying anything about it after you did become involved, well before the final rules were published, during August.
So it's a little late to start getting soggy and hard to light now.
