Yup. 7am (EDT) and 7pm (EDT) are going to be rough on the server(S).

UTC doesn't have AM and PM distinctions. Does he mean 11 AM and PM Mountain Time (Arizona) which then needs to be converted to UTC for all the Pentaxians world wide?

In that case he means 1100 and 2300 UTC.

In my humble understanding, of course.

Are unofficial posts referring to official sources, official?

Would people enter both draws?
I assume if you were successfully entered in the first there would be no need to try for the second draw, but how would you know?, will a list be generated or a PM sent?

they should've made it 10 AM eastern time. In that case, all pentaxians would have been watching Argentina - France game at the world cup and the PF server would not crush...

Adams Rules stated one entry per giveaway..... entering both would be two entries.

Just great. Here I was, waking up all night to watch the counter... When I can finally enter, I'll be in the middle of nowhere camping. I hope they have good cell service.

o, Adam has said that specific instructions would be issued after we reached 40K {short time ago, so they should be out soon} but the two drawings would be on Saturday at 11am and 11pm UTC

Thanks!
