Upcoming Key Dates (Includes RP Periods)

[Chad]

Roleplay Periods for Round Three: 3 roleplay maximum; 1 card segment allowed*
All roleplay periods end at 12:00am Pacific

Brackets 1 and 2: Thursday to Thursday, June 7
Brackets 3 and 4: Sunday to Sunday, June 10

*Card segments are due before the deadline and should be sent via private message to the following three usernames: Chad; Ford; User Poets. Not all segments are guaranteed to be used on-card, but will be used by the judges in voting.

Judges with tournament participants still involved will be allowed to judge through this round. As always, judges cannot judge in the bracket where their wrestler is competing. After this round, any judges with active participant will be removed from the judging pool. (Note that in the beginning planning this was originally discussed as through Round 2 -- given that the tournament was expanded to 128 (an added round), it's now Round 3.)

-----------------------
Roleplay Periods for Round Two: 2 roleplay maximum
All roleplay periods end at 12:00am Pacific (assume they end at the end of your day :>)
Bracket 1 - Monday to Monday (ending May 14)
Bracket 2 - Wednesday to Wednesday (ending May 16)
Bracket 3 - Friday to Friday (ending May 18)
Bracket 4 - Tuesday to Tuesday (ending May 22) (card for Round 1 just posted Monday, May 14)

-------------

Roleplay Periods for Round One:
All roleplay periods end at 12:00am Pacific
Bracket 1 - Thursday, April 19 to Wednesday, April 25
Bracket 2 - Saturday, April 21 to Friday, April 27
Bracket 3 - Monday, April 23 to Sunday, April 29
Bracket 4 - Wednesday, April 25 to Tuesday, May 1

There is a forum for roleplay for each bracket. A thread will be created for each match -- you will be able to roleplay in this thread for your match during the time period allotted. Any other roleplay should go in the "Hype Machine" forum.

Note: Bracket roleplay periods are staggered to allow things to keep moving while the judges judge and writers write. The intent is to have cards posts within a week after the roleplay deadline for each bracket. Early rounds will have results posted in short paragraph form; results will get longer in later rounds.

Re: Upcoming Key Dates (Including Bracket Reveal!)

Note that I made an error with Bracket 2 in the announcements at the top of the page. I posted the end-date for Bracket 2 roleplay as Saturday instead of Friday, so I'm extending it to Saturday to avoid confusion.

Re: Upcoming Key Dates (Including Bracket Reveal!)

Here's a question. There's no START time listed, so is it okay to post roleplays at 12am the day listed in Eastern time? Because that's what I did.

What date will be the cut-off for entering prediction brackets? Just curious, since as an outsider I don't know who a lot of these guys are and would like to wait for them to RP for as long as I can.

Damn, my bracket's still half-empty.

Re: Upcoming Key Dates (Including Bracket Reveal!)

Or maybe your bracket's half-full?

I'm leaving the prediction brackets open until we're ready to post results for the first card.

Re: Upcoming Key Dates (Including Bracket Reveal!)

I hate to be "that guy", but is there a time table when we can expect the first batch of results to be live?

Re: Upcoming Key Dates (Including Bracket Reveal!)

I believe Chad advised they were hoping to have the results out around a week after the RP deadline.

Re: Upcoming Key Dates (Including Bracket Reveal!)

Period for Bracket #2 has ended, correct?

Re: Upcoming Key Dates (Including Bracket Reveal!)

Has to have right? It's April 29 in Australia

Re: Upcoming Key Dates (Including Bracket Reveal!)

I was just dining in an Australian restaurant called OUTBACK. Coincidence? DID Ancient Aliens coordinate the second bracket's deadline with Billy's visit to Outback, and...IF SO, is it the same deadline for Voss who lives there?

Ends at midnight Pacific time (about 3 hours).

 

[Ernie]

Re: Upcoming Key Dates (Including Bracket Reveal!)

On Sunday, the 29th.

It is currently 12:04 AM Sunday in the Eastern Time Zone

Deadline is Midnight Pacific Time Zone

So you have 2 hours and 56 minutes left I believe

 

[Ernie]

Re: Upcoming Key Dates (Including Bracket Reveal!)

Yeah. Of course, by "Saturday" Chad meant "Sunday."

 

[Chad]

Re: Upcoming Key Dates (Including Bracket Reveal!)

You get a week plus three hours. Got it?

When I say a day people, I mean the end of that day. Wherever in this wonderful world you are, the end of that day. Unless you're in Guam, in which case you're in a silly time warp that I can be bothered to think about.

 

[Eastwood]

Re: Upcoming Key Dates (Including Bracket Reveal!)

Hell, does that mean my second one doesn't count? Because it's 4am here and that... I think it's 9pm PST.

Yes, you're fired.

No, everything's accepted until midnight PST. Just under three hours to go.
