TSC146 "Live Show" will take place about 2:40pm EST/7:40pm GMT WEDNESDAY and must end by 4:00pm EST/9:00pm GMT - so the remaining songs may be posted in succession if time begins to fade or if no one is live commenting.
TSC146 "Results Show" will take place about 3:00pm EST/8pm GMT SUNDAY right after The X Factor results show finishes.

All submissions that are received as of Wednesday 6pm GMT (1pm EST) will be eligible to play as long as they meet the above rules. The earlier you submit the song, the more likely I can check your song to ensure if it fits the rules. DUE TO MAIL SYSTEM BEING DOWN - THIS IS HIGHLY ENCOURAGED. If you leave your submission until late, there will be a chance that your song will NOT be allowed because it does not fit the eligibility criteria and I will not have time to tell you to change it. On Wednesday, I will have limited opportunity to check, so please submit early if you are not sure if it meets the rules.
Please remember that if you submit a song, you are also responsible for commenting on every song after it's posted and submitting your votes before the deadline. Please take these responsibilities seriously and take the time and effort to listen to each song in its entirety and write relevant comments on each song and submit your votes before deadline. If you do not want to take on these responsibilities, please do not submit a song. Penalties apply for those that do not submit comments or votes.
EDIT: added andalarew and konoha due to mailing situation last contest.
andalarew_2231 I'm giving you a chance to play in tsc146 because the whole mailing system is still messed up, so it's not entirely your fault. As long as you promise to comment/vote before deadline.
