This is a silly, noobie question.  Is the first song due Monday Jan 4?  The ticking of the count down timer has me a little puzzled. It says Weekly Beats will start in x day xx hours, but does that mean the first song should be done and ready for upload? Or is that our down beat to start writing and the first song is due the following Monday? 

I see this on the FAQ


‹ What is the weekly deadline?
Answer: 00:00:00 GMT Monday.

Best,

Yes, thanks. I was wondering why the upload button wasn't doing anything.

Is there supposed to be a countdown clock for submissions? I know there was one for when the week started but I don't see nothing no more nowhere no how

Upload still seems to be broken for me, but we have all week to work it out.

Its not broken, you can not upload the same day the week starts. If someone already has a track done before the week has started, it's not in the spirit of the site.  wink
