As it happens, the information about how the game works isn't that easy to find. To be very specific, you'll find the explanation about the queue information screen on page 3 of the General forum, in a little thread with 25 replies spread over 2 pages.

Remember, information is ammunition. Just a friendly tip to organized units out there. If you want to be ahead of the game, you need to have people scouting the mwomercs forum for valuable information.
This is what I like to call Information Warfare 2.0
I've only gone back to page 3, there may be other valuable information further back. Then you have elements like Twitter and NGNG podcasts, which in a way disrupt the information flow on the forum, so your scouts have to look elsewhere to really get full information about the battlefield, if you will. It's kind of like ECM.
Now you know. And knowing is half the battle.
Sorry for starting this troll thread and wasting two minutes of your life. Here's a cool picture of a shark.
