I've reposted the announcements while we wait for a mod decision.
The last goal was void, bc of the completion post timing (This was already an issue last match, I will insert Mod word here after I find it) So reposting won't work.
Mod
Judith spun out on Fortune's Wheel, read by Nikk, and crashed into the Ravenclaw Quaffle and caused it to break (Letter F).
I think minimum times were instituted for a reason and we told everyone to really be watchful of their times. Last match, Rav vs Slytherin, there was a big todo and a voided score after a Chain was announced as completed not accounting for the time the Chaser was knocked off their broom. To stay consistent with that ruling, once its posted, its unfortunately voided.
Gryffindor fixes the Quaffle and is ready to move down the pitch!Q -Questionable RemainsJenny

I think if you post early the goal is void per the rules, but I'd want a mod to say one way or the other.
