1/2 point per board not declared? That way completely failing to submit a team would require a 6-2 win overturn the default, but still allow the match to go ahead.

Likewise for mailing out board order to Tournament controller and opposing team captain in the same mail.
Which leaves either team captains exchange lists at the venue - as for most league matches. Or if it is felt necessary to publish pairings in advance both captains mail to Tournament controller who only releases data only when both captains have submitted their team lists.
Good point. The lists would need emailed to the controller in advance, or in case the controller is also a player for one of the teams, an independent person. They could then release the lineups via email, nb, or CS website.
For what it's worth, I voted for 6pm the night before. Personally I would be fine with midnight, but reckoned it had to be earlier in case there are juniors playing who wanted to see it the night before. 24 hrs in advance is even better, although might give the captains more difficulty finding a replacement should there be a last minute drop out, as people would be at work.
