Isn't Labor Day a Holiday?
I was waiting for the additional time to be added to my clock today but it wasn't. A lot of people are traveling and on vacation. Why wasn't there a 24 hr increase in time?

We no longer add extra time on holidays. It was creating too much confusion because different countries have different holidays, so people were expecting the extra time to be added and it wasn't. Please *always* postpone your games manually if you'll be away from your computer, even if just for a couple of days. Can't stress that enough. The automatic emergency postponement and the extra time added on Saturdays are just "safety nets", and shouldn't be relied on in normal circumstances.
