One thing I would like to note: There were repeated instances of moderators erroneously reading from the Division I packet during Division II play. I can't speak for other teams, but it happened to Tennessee A on two separate occasions (one of which was almost a full half) and happened to Tennessee B for a full half.

I also heard claims that the same issue happened in Division I, but I am unable to personally verify this.

In the future, it may be necessary to develop a new system of sending packets to moderators (as this potentially could have affected the outcomes of games.)
