Im pretty sure that the people who decoded the Mayan calendar and matched it with our own would have accounted for leap years, if not, well, they didn't do their job and whoever researched the Mayan calendar that brought about the date should be ashamed.
Im confident that they did account for leap years though, unless you can prove otherwise.

if you think that the gregorian calender goes back that far (to ceaser),
and leap year (which is still pretty new in our calender)
minus the 7 year margin of general error that our calender has,
and the make up for our own lack of leap year since our calenders creation,
and it (our calender) is based on a date that not one person is sure of.
it is the gregorian calender that is wrong, not the mayan calenders (plural)
and btw, the mayans did know about the .25 of a day left over and made up for it in 2 of their caleners at least.
how can the mayan calender end if its a series of circles?
maybe pope gregory found the end of a circle loledit on 5-3-2012 by violence=answer because: leap year make up time travel

The Mayan calendar has been shown to be more accurate than our own. Therefore that doesn't hold up.But good thinking anyway.

There have been about 514 leap years since Caesar created it in 45BC. Without an extra day every 4 years, today would be July 28th 2013. Also, the Mayan calendar did not account for leap years.
So if anything was going to happen it would've happened 7 months ago?
