About
Individual extensions:
Are given due to disruptions to OCT work*,
Apply only to the competitor who has requested them (and their partner if they have one),
Are scaled in relation to how long and how recent your disruption was, as well as any commitments you have in your would-be extension period**,
Can stack if you experience further disruptions after you apply for one,
Have a maximum total length of 7 days (to maintain tournament momentum and align with judges' schedules),
Must be requested by Monday May 6th, 23:59GMT unless you experienced a disruption within 48 hours of the round deadline,
Will be listed on our website (i.e. who has how long),
Are honesty-based! We'll do our best to be fair, please do the same!
TL;DR - if you faced disruptions while making your Round 4 and need extra time, you could be entitled to compensation please read and follow the process in the next section!
*may be caused by: physical / mental health; natural disasters; travel delays; life events (including expected ones such as weddings or exams); technological problems; lost work etc.
**for instance, if you experience a 1-day power outage on May 4th we will give you 1 day unless you have something planned on May 8th, in which case we would grant 2 days. If you experienced a 1-week power outage a month ago that may translate to an extra 3 days now unless you have been incredibly busy and unable to work on your entry in the meantime.
How to Request an Individual Extension
Email HyperspaceOCT@gmail.com with the subject "Extension Request",
Include a brief description of when your disruption happened and how long it affected you - you don't have to tell us what happened UNLESS applying in the final 24 hours, in which case we ask you to provide a brief explanation,
Mention any other commitments in the week from May 1st - May 7th (including things related to hobbies, we don't want you to have to miss out for the sake of the OCT),
Respond to the same email thread if you experience further disruptions and need more additional time.

Anticipated Questions
Will every request be accepted?
Provided you apply correctly in accordance with the above, yes!
Can spectators make requests?
Yes, in the same way.
Will accepted requests made within 24 hours of the character application deadline extend it as well as the audition deadline?
Yes, they will extend both - keep in mind we will need some time to get back to you.
If I submit an audition and wish to resubmit / amend something during my individual extension, may I do so?
Yes, absolutely.
What if I experience a technical problem at the last moment and submit my entry a bit late?
Email us with updates and we'll keep this in mind, in this case you will be allowed to submit up to 1 hour late - however, you should aim to upload at least a few hours early and/or have a backup audition ready to avoid the trouble! Entries submitted within 6 hours of the deadline will still be accepted for the sake of auditions, however this will not be the case for future rounds.
Will submitting my entry during an individual extension harm my score?
Not at all! Individual extensions will never affect scores. However, submitting late in future rounds will result in points being docked.
