I don't think this is fair. Yes, many people who read Chief Delphi and have been in FIRST for a long time are well aware of FIRST's past server issues, however there are many more that are blissfully unaware. That second group would have no reason to think they needed to submit days in advance just to be safe. (Full Disclosure, we submitted ours on Tuesday evening, partly because we were nervous about past server issues.)
