capbb | Posting Date Claims

The 2019 Captain America Big Bang Posting Date Claims will be on September 21, 2019.

Posting Date Claims will be done via Google Forms on a first come, first-served basis. There will be a link to the live spreadsheet that will show the timestamps of when we receive the Posting Date Claims forms.

Posting Date Claims will be allocated in the order that forms are received. The Google Forms will be sent to you via email.

Forms submitted with less than five (5) unique dates listed as choices will be asked to resubmit.

Forms that include dates outside the specified posting period of October 12 to November 12 will be asked to resubmit.

Please be advised that the form questions are in image format and auto-fillers will not function.

Prior to Posting Date Claims, we will provide a Posting Date Claims Calendar where you can view all the available slots per date.

Posting Date Claims forms will be emailed to authors. They will need to claim the team’s posting date, or enlist the help of a proxy if they’re unavailable to make a claim.

Authors, you and your teammate/s must discuss and agree on a preferred posting date before submitting a Posting Date Claims form. If your summary was claimed in Round Two, you will only have one posting date for both collabs.

If you cannot make it to Posting Date Claims, proxies are allowed. See section on Proxies below.

More specific information regarding Posting Date Claims will be sent to you through email.
