Frankly, I don't care whether the official MR representative on FT intentionally lied to us in giving false information or the officeial MR represntative on FT erroneous gave us bad information. Either way, we get incorrect information from the official representative, so having an official representative is rather pointless and all future information is no better than the average FT general member.

It appears that my answer in Post # 2 of this thread, almost 6 months ago, was accurate. Perhaps I can take over the MC role...

The LIFO/FIFO discussion is just pointless. Either:
A - Add up all your nights (carryover from 2009 plus actual 2010 nights), subtract 75, and that's your 2011 carryover

or

B - take the total nights stayed in 2010, subtract 75, and that's your 2011 carryover.

there's not a logical process where you carry some of the over to "qualify" but don't carry them over to "rollover". Either they count or they don't.
