- mediumNumeric inconsistency — $3,2000,000The Commitment for Future Advances loan amount is consistently stated as $3,200,000 throughout the document, but in the Risk Factors on this page it is mistyped as '$3,2000,000' (an extra zero), a garbled money figure.
- lowDefined-term defect — Membership Unit LoanIn the Interest of Management section the document refers to 'interest on the Membership Unit Loan', but that term is never defined; every parallel passage elsewhere (pages 6, 11, 33) refers to interest on the 'Share Acquisition Loan' — an undefined wrong-term substitution.
- lowDocument-quality defect — Initial twelve (12) teams listThe list of CRL's 'initial twelve (12) teams' names Philadelphia Powderkegs, Inc. twice (as the 2nd and 8th bullets), so only 11 distinct entities (10 named teams plus one 'To be determined by contest') are actually listed for the stated 12 teams.
- lowUnfilled placeholder text — www.__________The Plan of Distribution describes the offering landing-page URL with an unfilled blank placeholder ('www.__________') that was never completed before the document was shipped to investors.
- infoSpelling / typo — relayA Risk Factors note in the financial statements uses 'relay' where 'rely' is meant, breaking the sentence ('the National Football League ... on whose players we relay for our fantasy league').
