It's times like these I'm thankful that I don't usually get a chance to log in to DS until several hours after new events start. It's almost laughable that they churn out non-stop events and STILL haven't managed to make a single one start smoothly!
I'm hoping that by the time I get home and have a spare moment to log in that things are working properly. These rough starts are bad enough in any event but in an LB it's unacceptable that players should lose a single point! LBs require so many points to begin with, then add in the competitive factors for those interested and the beginning lost points could make or break a player's finish.
