One more thing is certain -- my goal of finally landing an undisputed TC is once again thwarted. I don't yet know if I won anything or not, but even if I did, it won't be "undisputed".
Who would dispute it?
If so, it will have been won fair and square. You will have earned the honor. Those whom might dispute it are but mere ....... losers.
Agreed. I don't see anyone disputing a TC in either scenario, nor should they.

Sorry, for BOB members-- this is no different than the other times that RSI has awarded multiple prizes for tournament errors. If you are a BOB member, none of the 10-0 type awards will count in your annual performance reviews--at least while I'm Grand High Moose. However, if you would like to count it under your career TC count, go ahead. It's not like anyone is gôing to audit you or remember this in 5 years. (Except in the case of Spaz's 3rd TC, which obviously wasn't real)
A TC to you is a TC to you.
Random note I forgot in my other post--they also to reimburse whoever/fix the Freshmen as well.

No tourney in today's mail for me.
None here either. At least the mix up hasn't dampened my eagerness to see the (likely not very good) results.

Uh...what about the Freshmen? ADM?
Nobody ever said in the thread what happened...or I missed it somehow...
Fix *what* Freshmen problem??
Does anybody know? Did they re-run all the runoffs (round 11+)? What was "special" about the Freshmen and/or ADM tournaments?
It's not like I'm concerned or anything...I'm just curious about what you all are talking about.

There is a persistent problem with the mini-overviews where warriors show up classed Freshmen when in fact they are low ADM. For three tournies now, people look at their minis, get their hopes up, call RSI to confirm, submit their warriors, then the warriors run in the ADM class and get their asses kicked, then they get mad and RSI gives them a refund.
Having not gotten my tournament, I cannot speak with any authority about the solution that was supposedly implemented for the run-offs.
On an unrelated note, I did speak to Lee today and she confirmed that everything was mailed out "late Wednesday night" (so Thursday as far as the post office is concerned, I'm guessing). I have my fingers crossed for Priority Mail to show up tomorrow, but between the USPS cutbacks and Hurricane Sandy, I'm not holding my breath.

Ouch, I was dumb enough to fall for that one again, all three times now.

I was wondering if that is what happened. I ran 5 freshmen that I was surprised to find classed as freshmen. Several of them also were busting out, something I would not have done as low classed ADM warriors. Will they likely just give a refund, or could I get a couple of them to lose any stat trains these guys might hit? Might I get a choice?
I'll survive whatever happens.

Apparently people ARE receiving their tourney today.
So far Bubbaganoosh (FL) and Marmaduke (NYC) have received theirs. So there is hope today, all!

There is certainly hope.
We Consortiumites are pleased to announce the snail arrival of The Mailer at 12:15 pm EST today.
NO NEWSLETTER, however.

Nothing for me either. No tournament and no 81. At least it gives me a reason to look forward to Monday.
