[QUOTE="pedr, post: 4042642, member: 33464"] Well without wanting to be the RPGA apologist (there's plenty wrong with the organisation, 85% of which can be put down to under-resourcing by WotC), this isn't something which actually has any meaning. These emails are the result of WotC merging the RPGA and DCI databases, and some events not matching up properly with the new system. They can probably be ignored. Errors happen when doing things like this, and there's no real [i]harm[/i] done - in fact this is one of the more benign errors made by the RPGA! The RPGA is easily a source of annoyance. I think the only sensible way to approach it is to take everything it gives as a gift to which you have no right or legitimate expectation - that way you're never disappointed. Should it be that way? Of course not, but from a completely free organisation resourced from the WotC marketing budget, it's always going to have some significant problems, and the fact that there are roughly three people in the whole world whose job is actually to make the RPGA work makes it inevitable that things are going to go wrong!
