Perhaps it's somethin about the US elections or any debate (we didn't recieve any news here at south, im at Brazil hehehehhehe), but a debate is a national event with conflicts chanpionships and it is scheduled. I recon that is something with the schedule of US elections debate, perhaps it was cancled or just changed. perhaps i was seeing the light reflect on mars and was flashed with the M.I.B. memory flash hehehehehehhehehehehehhe.

  - there is a play on words in the title(s), they would be read as "National Scheduling Conflict: Championships canceled" which begs the question "Which championships?". It is only when reading the NSCC banner that you could assume something like the "National Scheduling Conflict Championships" exists.

What happened to my transcript? I came here, found no page created, put the template up with a transcript and now it's all been overwritten. :P Jarod997 (talk) 13:19, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

What happened is that you created the page 1542, but that is only mean to be a redirect page that leads to this page: 1542: Scheduling Conflict. The bot that creates this automatically deleted your transcript when it did it's magic. You can still find you transcript on the 1542 page in the history. (You will have to press the 1542 in the (Redirected from 1542) at the top of the page to go that page). --Kynde (talk) 14:34, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
@Jarod997 -- I think there might have been a scheduling conflict. Ahem (talk) 16:41, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

In the explanation, I thought it was more a play on an oxymoron of a bunch of people who are good at fixing scheduling conflicts, only to have a contest in which they're entered be cancelled because of a scheduling conflict. I was going to put this in the explanation (which was blank at the time), but then someone overwrote me - and quite ironically a conflict arose. Jarod997 (talk) 13:26, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Certainly these were my first thoughts. (Championships must take place after (often regional) qualifying Heats, and those that ascend to the final level then need to make themselves available for the ultimate play-offs.) It's possibly the inverse (conflict-creation!), but getting through the preliminaries might be like the old joke of losing out on the competition to become Village Idiot to the competitor who didn't turn up! With neither of the two sought-after contacts available, either they've not resolved to ensure that at least one of them is contactable at all times, or else they've managed to put aside all other commitments (including the Championships?) to finally get some time together with each other... 141.101.98.30 16:39, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
