I have always seen 24->12->6->3 and then 1 team gets a bye. Not 8 teams like now

http://www.chess.com/groups/team_match.html?id=46888

this one is wrong, it's 1 simultaneous game instead of 2, needs to be aborted and started again!

4)The format will be,open rating matches,3 days/move/2 concurrent games/opponent,with only the WINNER advancing,this is not a league.

Come on Mike everyone can make a mistake even me and you can. To say that a team gets eliminated because of making it 1 concurrent game instead of 2 is ludicrous. I can understand aborting and reissuing the challenge but there is no need to boot them from the league because of 1 mistake 

I was only reading what you said here in this forum

Then they got it WRONG,Kacper,that would mean that 1 team would get a bye into the final match!!! I don't think that that's much of an idea!!!

If it's just reissued why not just continue with it?
