Spring 1902 results

What a mess.

Sorry for the delay in adjudication. We filmed a TV pilot in my kitchen last night.

Back to the game: what a mess. Let me just say I am very disappointed in two players. I have made clear in several ways that I would prefer if preliminary orders are sent in. The reason for this is life happens, to all of us. You can't wait until the last minute in this game to send in orders, because something will come up. I am not going to hold up this game for people who simply will not heed warnings. It is not hard as soon as you receive the results, to knock together some orders for the next season and send them out. This was worst case, you will at least do something instead of NMRing.
