F2F contest creation resulted in closed submission and registration phases

[callmekatootie]

Expected behavior

To be able to create a F2F contest without the Registration and Submission Phases being closed on launch

Actual behavior

Tried to create a F2F contest. Did not get any issues during draft and activation. Opened OR to adjust the timelines - but I am seeing that the registration and submission phases are closed:

Steps to reproduce the problem

• Select Work Type as Development
• Select Work Format as First2Finish
• Proceed with filling up the other details and save as draft
• Proceed with activating the contest
• View the timeline in OR - registration and submission phases are closed.

@acshields I guess this issue is connected with big updates recently done by James. Only he might know if this possible to fix by 3/12. As I suspect it could be hard to control time there, I suggest removing it from 3/12 release.

@rootelement - This issue was reported this week, and its more than likely related to your changes from this week. I have planned to include it in our 3/1-3/12 fixes, but a couple questions for you:

1. Assuming this is an API change, so it needs to go into your repo?
2. Would this be fixed by 3/12?
