Well it looks like the forfeit is going ahead for this round (game 2) with no posts being visibly marked - antonius has offered to have the marks PMd to him so that's up to you. Personally, I was looking forward to your refereeing halfy.
If the Panthers pull out of the next match (game 3), then I suppose we would have to eliminate them from the PVPs. In such a case, perhaps we could salvage something for the Ninjas - its possible for the Bluebags to fill in and our game 2 posts can used again. Messy I know, but it keeps the Ninjas in the trials. All speculation at this stage because as you say, we require clarification from the Panthers.
I imagine that clarification will happen before the end of the week.
