Official announcement. I will make them here instead so they aren't buried under the ooc. I don't know if I said this in the ooc but I have mentioned it in Discord so I'll reiterate.

Since we're running behind schedule we'll have to move Preliminaries to May 8th. This is very annoying for me and I imagine everyone else, but the amount of profile sheets don't seem to stop. The judges are trying as hard as we can but our rate is slow because we are extremely thorough in assessing what you guys submit. We hammer at it every night.

For the deadline: That is unchanged. Today, April 28th at 11:59PM EST GMT-5 we will NO LONGER accept anymore profiles; however, we will still be assessing profiles submitted and giving pendings and rejections when necessary. That means ANYONE who joined before the deadline will be given their fair chance as if like the deadline wasn't reached. We haven't had this many profile sheets since the original TZDL in 2007 (this one exceeding that record).

For those in pending: bare with us. 

For everyone else: be super patient. We're doing the best we can.
