The deadline is Anywhere on Earth (AoE), i.e. UTC-12, so it has not passed until the time has elapsed in every time zone on the planet — practically, you have until the end of that calendar day in the very last location on Earth, which buys a little buffer over your own local clock.

How is SODA 2026 ranked?
