That was a very good job! Unfortunately I don't think many of us realized the window for the contest was so small. I thought it was "anytime Sunday." I'm sure lots of people were asleep while everyone else entered. I almost was, but couldn't sleep!

True. So saaaaaad! :'(
I'm sorry, I did give the entry time in the original post, but next time perhaps it would be better to collect the entries for a day.
A learning experiment for all!
The way I interpreted the post was, post anytime Sunday, and the post to share our link on would be posted at that time, not that you had at most an hour from that window. I only got to participate because I happened to be awake (I'm in the US but up mostly nights) and realized from the wording of the noon post that it was going to happen so fast. It didn't occur to me that it would be such a small window since half the world would be in bed. That's why I made that comment on the original post, "okay, I posted, I'll probably be in bed when the share link goes up so I'll just post it there when I get up for the day". And when you said "you're early" I was confused, since it was Sunday. Obviously most people understood you better, but there were a few late entries, so I'm not the only one who didn't understand.
I would specifically say "I will be collecting entries between 2pm and 3pm est" or whatever it is next time, if you ever do a similar thing, maybe. :) We needed an end time, I think.
Most understood this to be, wait until my post, but yes - could have been clearer!
I hope there are more ideas like this, my SP, VP, and SBDs need a boost!
I definitely used up my VP, it hasn't recovered yet!
