Hi, I just got an email from the far cry community address saying the following:
"Hi there Sean!
Thank you so much for getting in touch with us, and also for sharing this preview video of your map, which looks very cool indeed!
However, there is a problem with your entry, and we are really sorry to say this: your map was published on May 18
th, a day after the submission window closed.
As our original
MJ4 article states, eligible submissions have to have been published “between April 30
th and May 17
th”.
This means we will not be able to consider Asphalt to Ashes for this Map Jam competition – we are so sorry about this. L
Nonetheless, we’d like to thank you for this contribution to the Far Cry Arcade; you can be sure that we will give your map a spin, whether it is a Map Jam entry or not!
All the best to you,
The Far Cry Community Team

Subject: MJ4 Map Jam "MJ4 - Asphalt to Ashes" submission
Hi,
I recently submitted my map for the MJ4 map jam and just thought I'd send you over a little video I made of the map - I played a bunch of the submissions so far and some are pretty fun such as the "Thirty Below" one I enjoyed that glad some people thought of snow/polar climate for the apocalypse too!
Here is the link to my video -

Now I am concerned because I uploaded my map just after 10pm EST May 17th, which is in accordance with the rules given in the official rules document where it says the following :
"
COMPETITION PERIOD: The Competition will begin 12:00 AM Eastern Time (“EST”) on April 30
th 2018 and will end at 11:59 PM EST on May 17
th 2018."
I have sent a reply about this, but not sure if posting here will help as this should be checked before the competition judging is complete (25th) as I feel that there has been an oversight due to timezone differences affecting map upload dates (the map upload date for the arcade system appears to only show a date not a time so isn't on the same timezone for everyone)
