Yes, Cancel is probably redundant here. I'll consider removing it (at least
in this case).

I notice on the Pr formation popup dialogs that you get both a cancel
and an Ok button.  It's entirely likely thinking about it that I see
'ticking nothing and clicking OK' exactly the same as 'clicking
cancel' since in both cases I'm saying I do not want to merge anything
at this time.  I'd imagine the difference is that cancel counts as a
sort of back up step to previous?  But in this case it's only offered
at the start of the round.  There is probably an argument here to
remove the cancel button and have just the OK button as the way to
progress so that users don't get as confused?
