Yes, no, kinda, sorta. SD has it more right. The database has all of the contests (and any panels/projects that opted to pre-upload to me) back to 2007 that I've run, and I'd eventually like to merge over 2006 but it's in a slightly different format that needs to be converted and consolidated. Therefore video num's just continue to climb. I've wiped and restarted a few of the year specific sub tables, like ftp requests/accounts and the pro voting stuff which is why some numbers are high and some low.

Question, for the pro contest on the main page it says the nomination closes and finals begin on Wednesday August 26th... But the next time August 26th will be on a wednesday is 2015... So I would suppose that that is supposed to say either Wednesday August 25th, or Thursday August 26th?

Okay, seriously, where the hell is everyone finding this? I feel like I've looked through every single page on awa-vat.org that could possibly have this information, and I've found nothing. People are saying it's on the main page, but I am not seeing it, either before OR after logging in.

It's big and in bold.

"Nominations are currently scheduled to close at the end of Wednesday August 26."

Whoops, that was supposed to be turned off, cause I never got a chance to update it. Apparently an old copy overwrote the version that had that section disabled, so it's showing for anyone that had a pro video LAST year (and with last year's dates). Fixed now.

Just to re-iterate, the nominations will close down sometime Wednesday night (August 25th) or Thursday morning Eastern time. Basically whenever Jingoro gets a chance to look it all over. We'll turn it around as fast as possible and get it setup to accept final votes shortly thereafter, probably by Thursday evening. You'll have roughly two weeks following that, through September 8th. You can change your nomination/votes at any point till that phase closes.

Okay, that explains a lot (I wasn't actually in Pro last year, just watched the videos with Cyanna who was). Now it's showing up. Thanks!

Actually, wait. Does that mean there won't be a round of voting to decide finalists in each category? Just nominations and final votes?

Pretty sure that's how it's been since I've been involved and managing the website, ie a 2 tired vote. Placing your nominations serves the dual role of saying "I want this category in the final voting process" and "here's the vids I want there." Finalizing the categories as a separate phase would either draw things out too long or shorten up the other phases to accommodate our deadlines.

I'd much rather the majority of the entries be done and uploaded for me to have in hand Sunday morning. We've really only got the two weekends immediately following the deadline to get everything watched and judged and it's much more reassuring to go into the next Saturday with no concerns but to leave with a winner's list rather than watch yet another round of vids. There's some stupid con with a shotgun spread of topics on that third weekend that all our staff seem to want to go to every year...

I get off of work at 7:30pm, so I'll upload it no later than 8:15pm

Minor delay on the final voting going live. We'll announce in the forums and by email when it does. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Since it's nominations I'd assume that an 8way tie would just result in 8 amvs in that category :awesome:
Gimme a minute, I'll make a cool one....
