The problem is the big crush of people - they need increased availability for about an hour. Set 1st district and 1st regional registration on different days (even 1 day apart) and you'll cut the number in half on each day. And it's not like those two groups really need to be registering on the same day either - district teams can't get into regionals for another two-ish months, and regional teams can't do districts at all!

Ok, here's the plan: Everyone stop trying to register so I can test out the system. As soon as I get my team registered, I'll let you know and you can all try again.

Ok, GO!

The potential problem with a lottery system might be that teams who can't afford to travel would get shut out of the only regional they can attend. Granted there are hold back spots, but those aren't always a guarantee. Though teams who still need an event would get in, it could still play havoc with school PO systems and invoicing, etc.

Not as quick as the TIMS servers did. :)

Well, considering that I can't really move onto my next task until FIRST does something, this thread seems like a good way to spend some time.

If FIRST was paying attention they could respond on this thread.

3k is NOT a "big crush of people"

Neat idea. Only issue would be if you didn't get into that week 5 event you wanted and your fallback was a week 2 event. It is probably filled at this point.
But going off of that maybe you could stagger it by team timezone. So just do each time zone at noon. That way it gives preference to the local teams to get into their events but avoids as much of a rush.

I finally got to the website, but I can not get to my dashboard... Has anyone registered yet?

Is this what they meant by Hype Overload?

Re: Registration 2017
 
you would think they would have load numbers from past registration days to size the system from.
Time to send in the"A" team.

Get us a bigger computer fool!
