I just wanted to say, as a member of the team actually affected by the Mapler's Rock thing- I was intially upset about it when I thought we had to move down a platform, but Christine was super receptive to me asking a question about why that was and I felt the decision for us to be allowed to stay on the platform was very fair because Christine had stated earlier she would choose the most correct answer. I think we are very lucky to even have events like this- win or lose, I always have fun shouting in skype calls with my friends. We royalers are definitely a competitive bunch so I understand how important this is to everyone, ( I'm definitely guilty of gettng insanely frustrated during past ATWs as well) but it's important to remember that everything can't always work out perfectly. (This isnt a direct comment to OP as much as the fact there seemed to be two negatively toned threads happening about ATW right now.)
