It started with the identification badges, which my team had no idea about. It wasn't well publicized that these were required, and could be picked up on Wednesday, so most didn't bother.

It sounds like your problems with the Championship start with your team not keeping up with the information made available in advance. How would you have preferred to receive the word that everyone would need badges?
