I'm not defending PB concerning not keeping to their schedules for getting the games done but I'm a bit surprised at the quantity of teams who didn't even bother to play their games in the playoffs and perhaps that caught Mike and Merideth off-guard as well.

Concerning no break between games 3-5 and games 6-7:
I think that you should have put your lineups in as soon as your games were through, however, instead of assuming that you were going to win one of the last two and looking forward to the next round. What was the advantage you were looking to get by waiting to put your lineups in? You keep mentioning that there was no break between games 3-5 and 6-7 but you played games 3-5 well before games 6-7 were turned on so there was plenty of time to put your lineups in. The only teams that really had no break between games 3-5 and 6-7 were the home teams for games 3-5 who didn't even play their games so it should have been of no consequence having the games turned on immediately after the ROBOT ran the 3-5's so as to keep to the existing schedule.

Now that the deadline for submitting lineups has passed and you didn't submit any (this is the key here) and the the games were turned on (on schedule btw), the owner of the home team plays his games and wins. Do you think it would be fair for him to have to play them again when the series (your series) is right on schedule because you missed the deadline?
