So, I and my brother, who are both in the game, were anxiously
awaiting the results of last nights Elimination Round 1. Even to
the point of staying up until the battle took place. Not having
anything to do today, this seemed like a good idea at the time.
So, promptly at four, we log on to check the results of the battle
and get the scare of our lives when we see this message pop up:

Unfortunately, you have not completed the preliminary rounds of
the tournament. Since you are not completely caught up, you
will no longer be permitted to play in the tournament.

That's not verbatim, but it's the idea. Anyway, The point is that
we had both finished the preliminary rounds, and even on the
same screen, it said that I had 9/9 wins, and was in twenty-
somethingth place. The battle summary at the bottom detailed
last night's battle correctly, and even said I won it.

So, I guess my question is... how could it have told me
simultaneously that I didn't finish the preliminary, still mark all
my preliminary rounds as wins, and tell me that I won last
night's battle?

When I reloaded the page, it all set itself to normal, so I think it
was just a timing thing, but I don't understand why it should
matter.

Or am I just making too big a deal out of it?
