<p>i bet they were just trying to cut down on the number of people accessing the site at any given time (oh the horror of september scores). by setting it so early, they would probably have minimal traffic so they could get more scores entered in so the server won't crash</p>
<p>Haven't you noticed something else about the release time? At the release time, most of the people wanting their scores will either be asleep or in school. It's a cheap and easy way for them to modulate the demand on their servers throughout the day.</p>
<p>Toblin - only if you are in EST... Out here in CST I have it easy, being able to check before school tomorrow. Of course, if you are in EST, you can check from school.</p>
