While it may be true that there's no "official"
format, there is one, at least, semi-official, that CT
uses fairly reliably and that's to utilize spots that
have entered in their comment field the likes of "QSX
UP 5" or QSX DN 1". If some one only enters "QSX" or
otherwise screws up the format, funny things happen
sometimes, but that's really a lack of robustness in
CT and not the overall scheme.
