To sum it up according to my understanding....Rolling qualification is only for the initial qualification. When you start with no status, you can earn status in this fashion: 27 nights in second half of 2005 and 25 nights in first half of 2006...Because this adds up to 50+ nights and it's within a rolling year you should get gold which will last you all the way through end of 2006 and all of 2007. However, if you want to maintain Gold in 2008 you will need to qualify by staying 50 nights in 2007.
As for why the page still says that...They could be having some sort of a database/backend problem and everything will straighten itself out in a month or so.
