no but I did get 2 confirmation emails with the same info. which tells me they might have had a merge/paste issue or email hiccup.  I'd contact them per the email asap.If the heat or title is incorrect, please let us know as soon as possible

Mine weren't the same. The first email said "round 1 submission," but the second corrected it to "round 2."

Same - I think they made an error in their template. But I did email them.

Since the error was neither heat or title you lack authorization to send an email.  Round number was not one of the variables listed.

This e-mail is to let you know that we have received your Short Story Challenge 2019 first round submission titled “Solar” and it will be judged in Heat 9 - Comedy / Enemies / A saxophonist.

Did this happen to anyone else?

I got the email twice....

I did too! And panic emailed them immediately, before realizing that the first email said "first round submission" and the second email was probably just a correction of this.

I got a second email ten minutes later that corrected it to second round, so I'm going to assume other people's emails triggered a general correction.

Thanks everyone!

Haha I just came on to post about the double emails. Glad I didn't submit into two different heats or something!
