Just wondering, does an item lose it's power at the beginning or end of the date listed as it's expiry?

For example, I have a couple of scrolls that expire 5th of May 2013 (which happens to be the Sunday of the first Moot) - are they still valid through out that Sunday, or do did they expire at dawn?

Expiry dates occurring during an event are pretty unusual, and I wouldn't normally expect to see them occurring on scrolls - but it is clearly possible under certain circumstances (it may be that (some) scrolls created at the Spring Moot last year had expiry dates incorrectly calculated or recorded, or they may be from a non-standard source, for example).

Edit: Correction to account for rule-book definition of a "day"

Anyway, to answer the question - the expiry is deemed to occur at the end of the date listed, at midnight.
i.e. these scrolls are valid for all of the Friday and Saturday of the event, and the 14 hours of time-in on Sunday from 10am until midnight - if still unused at this point they expire.


Anyway, to answer the question - the expiry is deemed to occur at the end of the date listed - which, by the rulebook definition of a "day", is at the 2am time-out (i.e. it includes the first 2 hours - midnight to 2 a.m. - of what is technically the Monday, but we treat as part of the Sunday for rules purposes)
So these scrolls are valid for all of the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of the event - if still unused at time out on the Sunday, they expire.

Correction to the above post -

The rules actually define a "day"at main events to be the daily time-in period - so the expiry actually occurs at the 2am time-out, not midnight (see page 19, in the Spell Cards section)
