I didn't understand Hyatt's reply either. If Keene said yes (as reported by Ed) then it is difficult to see what then stopped it. Keene must have known the state of the contracts, and can hardly go making such statements in the face of contract obligations to the contrary. You have to assume, therefore, that a late(ish) Tiger entry was acceptable and not voiding of any other contracts, if indeed other contracts were in place at that time.
