Probably me. I had this problem few events ago. The event ended when there was like 40 minutes still left on the timer. I was pissed as fuck back then because I was burning some puddings in the last hour to get into top 1000 (It was hard for me to be active during that particular event) and suddenly maintenance popped up when I was around position 1040. I literally needed like 5 more minutes. I wrote the ticket to Nutaku about the timer and they said they know about the issue but it is some time zone thing and there is nothing they can do about it and advised me to refresh the page every now and then. To me it doesn't look like anything related to time zone but timer just desyncs a little as the time passes and if you did not refresh the page for a long time, it gets pretty inaccurate (like my case when it was 40 minutes off). At least I got the top 1000 card from that event as compensation coz I burned quite a number of puddings that I had stashed. :P
