Correction to the Corrections & Clarifications
ILSA regrets to announce that there was a typographical error in the Corrections & Clarifications. In Correction #11, “1948” should have been “1958”. We have corrected the text in the versions available on ILSA’s website. Thank you to the Teams who caught the error. Fortunately, the error is without consequence for Teams’ arguments. You can find the corrected version of the Corrections & Clarifications here.
