All I can say is in future years, you better have a fast computer, on a fast network, and a really precise mouse. And forget trying to read anything on the screen.
Oh, and you better cancel everything and take off work that morning, and if you're a teacher, cancel class.

In future years we need to do something different - like a registration period and a lottery system:
Teams indicate a 1st and 2nd choice within the registration period (say a week).
70% of spaces go in the first round - first choice by lottery.
Those that didn't get their first choice go into a lottery for their 2nd choice (the next 20% of spaces).
Should a team not get their first or 2nd choice, they get to register for the last few open spaces in what is presumably their 3rd choice.
Wash, rinse repeat for 2nd regional registration.
Hey, it could work...

PS - Registration was indeed really smooth, but I'm glad that I didn't have class today!
