Dibs on a spot at Boilermaker!

heh

I can't get in either. I got in ahead of time, waited for noon to come, refreshed my screen and was immediately booted out. I like Travis' idea of everyone taking a 1-2 hour break from TIMS. That way, the server won't be down and I can register! mwuuuhahahaha.

Got in but still no button to register 1:10 PM EST. I'm logging off.

Re: initial regional registration
 

I can't register either. One more refresh then I'm logging out. Please don't take all the Detroit spots, my kids have Spring Breaks on the other regionals!!!

From the login page:

I finally got an ADD button, then it locked up again

1:23 pm EST Update
 

The ADD > link has just appeared beside the events section. I am currently trying to get through the registration process. It is very slow and I am getting errors.

I'll post again if I get all the way through.

Re: initial regional registration
 

Closer....closer...

Re: initial regional registration
 

Andy's on to something here!
Let's just register on CD - we know CD works! :-/

Dibs on GLR

Re: initial regional registration
 

I am so close I can smell the Milwaukee Regional!

I'll post again if this actually goes through, I'm on the logon verification page right now.

Edit: ah, cruel irony. this is my 269th post... :)

One lucky team made it into the New Jersey Regional.

Re: initial regional registration
 

Should we declare them the NJ winner? Just in case no others manage to get in?

Re: initial regional registration
 

Ooo!!! A new trophy category
-- FIRST to register ---

We can have both a Regional and Championship award

1:40 pm EST Update
 

Team 1114 is registered for the Great Lakes Regional. Team 1503 is close to being registered as well.

I think it is safe to say that the TIMS system is now working...very slowly!

Good luck!

Re: initial regional registration
 

A word of advice. If you get into the system and you are part way through registration and you get an error message. Try to refresh a few times before starting over. It worked for me.

Re: initial regional registration
 

Team 322 is registered for Great Lakes Regional as of a few minutes ago. Glad to see I'm not the only one having problems. I was starting to think it was an internal issue with the network where I work.

See everyone in 2006!! I can't wait!
