<p>Before we need to submit? Is it 1st Jan 2359 Standard Pacific Time?</p>
<p>Nope, it is jan 1st 23:59 EASTERN Standard Time (which means 1 hour earlier than you might have assumed…)</p>
<p>^ Standard Pacific and Standard Eastern are three hours apart, not one.</p>
<p>Haha thanks for making this thread. I was going to ask the same question but I thought it would be stupid… on the other hand, sounding stupid is a lot better than missing a deadline.</p>
<p>Don’t forget to read Matt’s RD Q&A – he goes into some detail about time of submission.</p>
