I'm not sure you read my post. I said as much when I said they were very generous. I only mentioned it for two reasons. The first was the theme video mentioned no late submissions because it included two weekends, but not everyone has the same weekend in regards to work. The second reason is that had it been the full two weeks to give everyone a second weekend in case something came up as did on my first one, I would have had at least one day, and possibly a second one depending on my schedule to compete.
Also, I did pick this one because I like the hosts and it did fit my schedule. As I mentioned, though, a co-worker called out on my only day off during the 10 day window of the jam. That is something beyond my control. I don't want to compete in just any game jam, but rather specific ones that are part of the communities or by the people I enjoy following.
