There were 5 teams in Bracket E, Bracket E could have been shrunk to four teams with a team from E being drawn into D. Would this have been a perfect solution.. of course not. The team from E that got moved to D may not have been happy with the move, and like we are complaining now, would have had a right to raise it as an issue. The fact that Urz seemed so sure that Phalanx wouldn't turn up complicates matters though. As does the fact that there were no shows with no replacements the week before. Essentially, there was a solution available that didn't involve bringing in a clan that hadn't signed up.
In essence, Urz was damned if he did and damned if he didn't. One things for sure, I'm pretty sure that had a hard deadline been set, none of this would have happened because if it had, the potential fall out would have been much more than using 20/20 hindsight to raise objections.
