We had an issue much like yours. Hopefully we'll hear back soon from FIRST.

Well that opens a can of worms. Why are some teams being told 'no extension' and others allowed? Perhaps yours was partially submitted or something?

I believe it was because we were attempting to submit prior to the deadline and we could not because of a technical problem with their website. We sent our initial appeal 8 minutes after the deadline as well so I think that helped.

Update: Frank Merrick, FRC Director, has reconsidered and a number of requests submitted (but not all) are going to be granted. Thanks, Frank!

That's good to hear!
In the future, I hope they plan to take steps to avoid the online submission meltdown similar to that of previous event signups.

I would suspect that for many teams, the intent was to submit early (24 hours earlier), instead of 20-30 minutes before the deadline. This was clearly the system that had a problem as I doubt hundreds and hundreds of teams were cramming to get it in a day in advance all at the same time.

Any idea how we can find out if ours was granted?
