GM's remarks:
 
I will be on Business Travel next week.  I do not expect this will be a problem.  This is not the first time that this has occurred  . . . nor, shall it be the last . . . and, no problems cropped up during the previous trip.  However, if you have not already made it a habit to cc: your orders to orders(at)diplomaticcorp.com, you may want to make an extra effort next week.  The tournament moderators have already made it abundantly clear; if your orders are not available at the above address and they have to step in to help, you will receive an NMR . . . no questions asked, no excuses accepted.
 
Congratulations to the survivors for making into Year 5 of Round 2, Winter Blitz 2010.
