ANNOUNCEMENT -- We have the option to adjust any contest settings whose descriptions (rules, voting & entering options) don't match what they actually have going on. Example, if you say in your rules the contest ends at a certain time but it ends earlier, we will adjust to match your rules. If you want to end your contest early that is entirely up to you but please be sure and change your rules so it says the same thing and your participants aren't confused or feel like they have been treated unfairly, if you don't we will make an adjustment to match your rules. If you have any questions or need help, please ask, I am more than happy to help.
