The deadline of the 5th is for various consultant promotions.....like with the upcoming Fall Sellathon - shows must be held June 1 - 30, and submitted by midnight July 5th....etc....
Some consultants tell hosts that shows must be submitted by the 5th for guests to get the special, as a way of insuring that they (consultant) get whatever consultant special is going on at the time......not actually the truth - just more of a CYA..........
And really, a host should be able to close a show with that amount of time.....(in a perfect world!)
