So I assume that it wasn't actually submitted on time.

Yeah, with email, it should be pretty automatic. I just remember something about the queue and deals coming in way late (but having met some sort of cutoff). That was probably faxes.
The Wild probably came back with a last second change that delayed it. Or needed owner approval and it wasn't available.
