Example:
 Arrival Phase:
  Arrival time was preset to 6:30 pm PST
  Defender has 16500 points and attackers have 12000 points.
tons.  
  Defenders have 17 players, attackers have 25 players.   Drop coordinator 
   hands out their numbers as they arrive.  

 Count Phase:
  Count time was preset to 6:45 pm PST
  Defender declares wants to get freebooters so that will take 500 points
  off the top per freebooter, since they are outnumbered.
  The defender hauls butt but is only able to find 3 freebooters 
  in 10 minutes.  So the defender only has 15000 left for ship assignments
  and gets 100 TIE Interceptors.  The attacker uses 50 Y-Wings.  So
  The final count is done as 20 players (100 starships)  against 
  25 players (50 starships).  Everyone runs the
  battle tracker.  It tells them there is one 1on1, 5 2on1s, 7 2on2s.
  The battle tracker will tell what room to go to
  based on their number that they were given and the stop points.
  They exchange IP numbers on take note of who they are fighting with
  and perhaps even ICQ numbers to be thorough.

 Drop Phase:
  Drop time is mandatory 6:55 pm PST
  Everyone drops to native IP and has a great time.  Everyone is told
  to return back by 7:30 pm PST for the next round.

 Results Phase:
  The defenders are stellar performers and despite a numbers advantage, the
  defenders loose 60 starships and the attackers lose 75.   since the
  attackers only had 50 available, the battle is over and things proceed
  to the accounting phase.  If both sides had ships left, you do another
  round.


  Note: on subsequent rounds 10 minutes is NOT given to find freebooters,
  since some people will arrive early.  However at the start of a new
  battle, they do get 10 minutes.  

 Accounnting Phase (only at the end of a battle)
  Since the attacker went over by 25 losses.  Both sides have 25 subtracted
  from their losses.  So final losses are defender 35 and attacker 50.
