The situation he's describing is...
Camper A has the camp and intends to hand it off to Camper B (in another zone).
Camper C shows up. Camper A gets his item and stays at the camp until Camper B arrives.
Camper B does as he should and drops whatever he is doing and bee lines it to the camp.
Before Camper B can get there, Camper C - fully away that Camper A intends to hand the camp off to Camper B - attempts to take camp and kills placeholder that has been up for a minute or two. Before too much time has passed (single digit minutes), Camper B shows up.
It seems in this situation that the GMs/Guides are inclined to rule on the side of Camper B. He was a few minutes late but in a camp like AC there are things like boats that have to be considered. This has potential to lead to confusion and arguing but so does every other rule.
