New Guy with a Question RE: TAR Casting Habits

Hey guys, sorry to resurrect this thread. I'm another new(-ish...) guy who just has another quick question about TAR casting habits.
What's the deal with the length of the application video? I think in the past it used to be three minutes, but now they say two minutes, and I've definitely seen some videos of people who ended up making it on the show that were well over two minutes. In general, are they really stringent regarding length or is there some flexibility? I definitely plan on applying for the show soon; if I submit a video that's two minutes, thirty seconds, will it immediately discarded as the application form say it will?
I think the earliest season I would be able to apply for would be 20 or 21, but it's still good to know this information in advance so I can start planning my video accordingly. Thanks in advance. :)

The TAR 17 application reads:
--- Quote ---Applications MUST be written clearly and legibly or typed and must be accompanied by a videotape or DVD that satisfies the following requirements:
LENGTH: MAXIMUM OF THREE MINUTES PER TEAM. Anything over three minutes will not be considered. Teammates should appear together on camera.
--- End quote ---
In the old days, scuttlebutt was that 3 min 1 sec would be trashed. I have no real idea, I know some recruited vids are longer.
IF I was Queen of casting :crown , I would look at the application in part to see who can follow rules and read and understand directions. I would be hesitant to cast those who couldn't.
Good Luck!!

Double-checked the TAR17 application, just to make sure. It really is three minutes. I could've sworn that it said two minutes the last time I looked over the application... :duno: Well, regardless, thanks for the help, peach!

Then where would we get the occasional penalties at the end of the leg? :lol:
