It's your contest, and you have total rights over its administration. If you feel it's your error, you can make an exception. Be prepared that someone else might object. An explanation as to why you made the exception might help thwart objections.
That said, permit me to give you a couple tips. Most contests run on WDC, whether member-run or site contests operate on WDC time, which is Eastern Standard. That time is displayed at the top of the Favorites column (right side of page). That gives everyone the same reference no matter where they are in the world. I suspect any member who's been here a while is used to operating this way.
Rules are indeed important. You might check out some other contests' rules to see if you can adapt some of their ideas for your contest.
