Just to take the suspense (or not) out of it, these are the orders I sent:

F MAO-Eng
F Iri S F MAO-Eng
F Wes-MAO
A Mar-Bur
A Par-Bre

So, I'm in the English Channel, Russia has a retreat, MAO is empty, and I'm in Bre.

I nmr'd once--about 4 years ago. My motto: "Never again."

Here is the header (with the forward, since it's in my sent folder)

I have to believe that they got lost in Adam's inbox and he didn't check the tournament box. If not, well, I don't know what a player is supposed to do.
