As we will be pulling data as soon as we close the month of November on December 2nd, at 5:00 p.m. (pst), there will be NO EXTENSION granted to enter late time. Time not entered by the deadline will not be included in the bonus data. Please make sure all your time is entered and finalized by the deadline.

Thanks.
