Err, yes big mike, typo on my part, sorry; I meant the 15th, not the 16th.
The problem with exceptions is that if you give one, you must give them to everybody. There are over 120 people participating in this FW's. Neither the judges nor the cops wish to deal with individual exceptions for 120 people.
The rules are there to give cops a guide through which to score peoples' submissions. They can look at the times benches were run and easily note that it was run after the 16th but before Sept 3rd. To ask them to take notice of, say, a score that was run on the 16th, but then figure out if it was run after 9pm CST and then go ask for approval to enter it into the database is too much.
So I'm sorry to say you'll have to re-run them Chance. Hey, it's your first wars. Everybody makes a mistake. Bet you'll pay close attention to the times & dates for the next war!
