Time zones got me all confused...
With the speed challenge that's up, it says the 31st, but I took a photo that said the 30th... But my photo was taken after the challenge was up. I read the challenge details and then took the picture.
So as long as I didn't take it before the challenge was announced, that'll be okay, right?

I'm assuming so but I really want to make sure before the challenge starts, because if I'm wrong, I don't want to have to self-DQ something. I mean it would be okay but I'd rather not do it.
I did send a ticket to ask but I just want to ask here too in case they don't get back to me before the challenge starts.

The timing for challenges is based on Eastern US time. So if you are in the Mountain US time zone (same as Denver), you can enter the challenge with a photo taken after 10pm local time.

*checks EXIF, again* Okay, I should be fine.

Thanks... my brain is all poo from being sick, I guess. :-)

You can always see the server's time at the bottom of each page of the site in the fine print:

"Current Server Time: 10/31/2007 09:28 AM EDT."

Make sure your camera's date and time are set correctly to your time zone.
