Clarifications.
Seems that 68KO did send the orders out on time, but the e-mail handler that damnname is using didnt receive them until Wed. night, and then, during the wee hours, it was discovered the word document containing the map wouldn't open on damnname's computer.
At least, that's how I understand it to have happened.
One of those unfortunate series of events.
About the only way to truly address this is to ensure that those who are slated up front as side COs start asking where the orders are first thing Monday and then the CM start asking for confirmation the orders were received.
Responsibilities on both sides.. which only takes a few seconds of e-mail effort ( or forum reply ) to resolve.
In any case, as of now the teams are appearing and I haven't crashed the arena yet. Life is good.
