Primary citation

The current date signal points to tomsguide.com. The source URL is shown visibly on the page so readers can verify late changes instead of relying only on the timer.

Freshness and review

Source policy was reviewed on 2026-04-30. Live countdown values are render-time snapshots; editorial source fields update when the tracked event dataset changes.

The record does not carry a reliable public start time yet, so the page avoids implying a midnight or all-day start.
