[joeyfitzclick]

I 'logged on' at 12:22 to make my picks and tried repeatatly for 30 minutes with no success. The site was down for me so at 12:46 I e mailed my plays to SS, Xpanda and Wil.

Will these plays be allowed to be graded and btw wtf is up with this site from 12-1 on a Sunday ?

Fix this already.

Obviously Joeyfitzclick made a serious effort to post his plays in plenty of time but our servers were down and he was unable to make his post. He notifed no less than three different moderators at four separate email addresses of his plays including myself Rx.com Head Moderator. The issue is settled - the plays were submittied in plenty of time and in good faith. The fact that TheRx.com servers failed for over an hour before post time of this contest was not the fault of any single poster including Joeyfitzclick.

These are special circumstances that The Rx.com reserves to intervene into any contest when something like this occurs.

I appreciate your understanding that there are times when events beyond anyone's control come into play and this is one of those times. TheRx.com may as well not even sponsor contests if we cannot rule when there is a special circumstance such as the website crashing for an hour before the deadline to post plays in any particular contest.

The matter and the decision is final the three plays received by the next best thing, personal emails to three different Rx.com moderators at four different email addresses before the deadline is definitive proof that this contestant made every effort to get his plays in on time but was stymied when the website crashed, so he did the next logical thing which was to inform three separate employees of The Rx.com before the contest deadline of his selections.

In my opinion this poster had no alternative then to do what he did due to the fact that through no fault of his own he was unable to post his selections through the normal manner.

Thank you, wilheim..
