what, your response is crazy, don't you get it?
rules and paperwork are the issue here. discipline maintained.
if there are any errors, you can't enter the country, or compete, unless you're an unvetted illegal without a passport.
there are no excuses here, don't cry about it, and say, well, i'm going to compete in an elite sporting event, don't be such a crybaby.
it doesn't matter if your life is screwed up, it doesn't matter if the rule makes no sense, if a government official checks off the wrong box in your country, you have to suffer the consequences. ignorance of the law is no excuse.
rules must be obeyed, discipline maintained.
except criminals, if you're a criminal, fssucsk the rules.
so says god almighty, the minister of immigration.
