Clearly we aren't the only confused one if MD said we were late when we weren't.

The point of two deadlines is so your opposition can't gain an advantage by seeing which maps your going to play prior to submitting their own.
if we didn't use this case as a precedent there would be all sorts of dummies flying around and a lot of toys to put back into various prams. jefjef beware!

Have a dummy-split day!
In defense of the organizers for this, this rule has been in place since roughly week 2 of phase 1 (I know it changed a little at 1 point), so you guys should have already been doing this/known how to do this for at least 3 or 4 weeks in the last phase
explosion of anger, tantrum. A "dummy" is a baby's pacifier. When you're angry, you have to spit out the dummy. Also spit the dummy

Now I do agree having 3 different deadlines each week is tough to deal with, and probably 1 too many, but rules are rules, deadlines are deadlines. Quitting part way through the competition because you can no longer meet the deadlines hardly seems reasonable. Especially in a huge clan like yours where you can surely have someone help you out with reminders, creating home teams etc.

First deadline*. The second deadline (Monday) had not passed yet so it wasn't required to be posted until that night.

Even though I haven't been worried about it, it makes sense to not allow other clans to see your hand (if a clan wants to avoid that potential disadvantage). In the future, I think a way to avoid the double deadline for submitting home maps; it could be easy for the TO to just copy/paste all of the games from pms into one post on Monday. But I'm not complaining, that's just a suggestion.

Agreed, possible future improvement.

Also - for the record KOA will continue in the CLA 4: Div 3. Please remove Jefjef as KOA primary contact and place me as first contact. I will get back to you with a secondary contact shortly.
Thanks,
