I'm not complaining that the deadline was at 9am. I'm upset because I set aside time from my schedule to do EXACTLY as people here are suggesting -- submit it early -- and the system was unavailable to me.

I asked another of our mentors to set aside more of her time to check on the system and submit it the following morning after I spent more than an hour trying to do the same the evening before.

It's not unreasonable to ask that the system work reliably, especially near the end of submission window and the fact remains that FIRST (yet again) doesn't seem to value the time I spend trying to work around and accommodate their failures.
