My bigger concern now is tempering the attitude of my students who may be reading this thread. Some may come away with the idea we should never try new things and take risks to move forward and just keep doing what we are to avoid ridicule should things go wrong.
Remember, everyone can predict something that just happened, and everyone can solve an isolated issue without the entire context.
Perhaps we can use this thread as a case study for Gracious Professionalism vs. Ungracious Pro-victimism...heaven known we have the evening news for the latter.

This is true however FIRST has had a long history of having teams use systems that just crash. FIRST Choice & Registration threads of old have had many issues with crashing & struggling to handle the load. The TIMs system was working just fine over the past few years and the decision was made to change it so yes teams are going to be upset that FIRST took a step backwards after finding something that was working fine.
Its a little disappointing but when it requires people to set aside time out of their work day to sit around and get nothing accomplished.
